ChatGPT has created barriers to stop malicious content on the platform. However, crooks try to work their way around these to produce phishing emails and malware code. They try to conceal their identity by breaching ChatGPT’s access modes through bots. They use OpenAI’s API to bypass the barriers. They create Telegram bots that use the API. These are promoted in hacking forums. They develop crypto currency payment system. They get people to invest in cryptos that do not exist.

ChatGPT itself can be used as a malware-as-a-service instead of independent hackers. People should be alert and should develop their own AI engines to identify malicious requests, phishing attacks and social engineering. We should increase the cyber education of employees.
