Microsoft report: Nation-state hackers use AI tools like ChatGPT to enhance cyberattacks.
Microsoft has published a report revealing that nation-state hackers backed by countries like Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, are using artificial intelligence (AI) tools, including OpenAI's ChatGPT, to refine their cyberattacks. The hackers are improving phishing emails, searching for vulnerabilities, and troubleshooting technical issues, thereby enhancing their intelligence-gathering abilities and the effectiveness of their attacks. This development comes amid growing concerns about the potential risks and negative impacts of AI, including the spread of disinformation and job loss. Microsoft and OpenAI work together to detect and stop these hackers' accounts, as OpenAI invests in resources for identifying and disrupting threat actors on its platforms.
