ChatGPT never stops attracting crowds…and hackers. A Group-IB report indicates that the credentials of more than 100,000 accounts ended up on the Dark Web, between June 2022 and May 2023.
It’s time to change your password on ChatGPT. The latest Group-IB report, relayed by The Hacker News, is quite alarming on the subject. In the space of a year, nearly 101,000 account identifiers have landed on the Dark Web to be resold there. Among the most affected countries, India, Brazil, the United States, but also France.
This is the other side of the coin for OpenAI. Granted, its chatbot is still as popular as ever, but that’s precisely what is attracting hackers like flies. However, compromised accounts pose several problems. First of all, they obviously serve to flush out personal information.
However, stolen accounts can also be used in large phishing campaigns and other scams of all kinds. Indeed, what interests hackers is access to the GPT-4 API. Which is still limited. In addition to this privileged access, the method also allows hackers to remain anonymous.
If you have a ChatGPT account, it remains to make sure that it is reliable. The easiest way to do this is to make a detour via Have I been Pwned and, where appropriate, to enhance the security of your account. For example, by enabling two-factor authentication.
