ChatGPT: The evolution of a Malware as a Service

Since its launch, ChatGPT has been used by members of various cybercrime forums to develop malware. While the terms and conditions of ChatGPT use state that it is not to be used for illegal or malicious purposes, people have still found ways to customize their queries to get around these restrictions and create malicious programs.

Ransomware, for example, is one type of malware that has been created using ChatGPT. This type of malware encrypts a person’s files and demands a ransom be paid in order to decrypt and access them again. Python scripts that steal information after an exploit have also been created using ChatGPT.
