OpenAI has intensified its efforts to combat the misuse of its ChatGPT platform by banning accounts linked to nation-state hacker groups from China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and the Philippines. These groups have been exploiting ChatGPT to develop stealthy malware, automate cyberattacks, and conduct covert operations including misinformation campaigns and cybercrime. The malicious activities involved refining malware code, hiding it within fake gaming tools, and stealing browser data to evade detection. OpenAI's actions come amid growing concerns over generative AI being used to enhance phishing tactics, create more sophisticated malware, and insert backdoors into open-source repositories. The company is focusing on disrupting AI-driven cyber threats, social engineering, and influence operations, especially those leveraging cloud infrastructure.
