The field of computer security is constantly evolving as malicious attackers work harder to achieve their goals. The popularity of artificial intelligence (AI)<\/strong> in recent months, especially tools like ChatGPT, has prompted Metateam<\/strong> to raise awareness of these new attack vectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specifically, hackers introduce viruses into ChatGPT-related tools such as browser extensions and apps. Therefore, users trying to improve their productivity using these various tools may inadvertently download malware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guy Rosen, head of information systems security at Meta<\/strong>, explains that these applications are highly functional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor example, we have seen hackers create malicious browser extensions, available from official online stores, which claim to offer ChatGPT-related tools. In fact, some of these malicious extensions included functional ChatGPT <\/strong>functionality alongside the malware. This was likely to avoid suspicion from stores and users. \u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, Meta’s security team has identified about 10 malware families posing as ChatGPT<\/strong> or similar tools, and since March, more than 1,000 malicious<\/strong> links within apps in this group have been blocked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
