prompts to enhance ChatGPT’s efficiency, cybercriminals have been leveraging AI to pilfer passwords and financial data.
Recently, the Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) released a blog post outlining how nefarious individuals are exploiting various AI systems, including Google’s own Gemini, to target people and either abscond with essential data or deceive victims into divulging it. GTIG reports that AI is being employed for the theft of intellectual property, monitoring, and the development of new types of malware programs, prompting the group to compile a roster of “threat actors” who attempted to misuse Gemini for harmful purposes. Google intervened and halted these offenders, but it still aimed to illustrate what these individuals were doing, as their programming misdeeds could significantly affect the future of cybersecurity.
