Last week, OpenAI, the developer behind ChatGPT, confirmed that hackers from Pyongyang were utilizing its artificial intelligence services to support malicious cyber activities, including writing code that could leak sensitive data and damage commercial databases. Security researchers have identified the vulnerability, which OpenAI appears to have now fixed. Furthermore, the 'Dream Job' campaign, orchestrated by North Korean hackers, targets the defense sector to steal sensitive technologies and advance their weapons programs. In a broader context, Microsoft ($MSFT) and OpenAI reported, per Axios, that hackers from Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea are leveraging AI to craft phishing emails and study potential targets. This development marks the beginning of a new era in cybersecurity, prompting tech firms to scrutinize chat logs to detect malicious activities, raising concerns about privacy and transparency.
