WormGPT is being described as similar to ChatGPT, but with no ethical boundaries or limitations, and Australian businesses are in the firing line.
Cybersecurity researchers are sounding an alarm about the hacking community’s answer to ChatGPT, a new generative AI tool dubbed WormGPT, which is being used to create sophisticated attacks on Australian businesses.
WormGPT is being described as similar to ChatGPT, but with no ethical boundaries or limitations, and researchers say hundreds of customers have already paid for access to the tool on the Dark Web.“Everything blackhat related that you can think of can be done with WormGPT, allowing anyone access to malicious activity without ever leaving the comfort of their home,” Last said in an online post on the dark web, in which he sold access to the tool.
“We’re seeing malicious generative AI being used to create new malware variants that are more difficult for some traditional tools to detect,” Butler said. “These platforms can even assist criminals in exploiting published vulnerabilities.
“While most lack the large capacity of public-facing tools like ChatGPT and Bard, they are proliferating quickly, which can make them harder to find and take down.” “We all take safety seriously, why do we not take cyber seriously? We’ve got to get to a point where cyber hygiene is built into everyone’s muscle memory, just as safety is built into everyone’s muscle memory.”
“The long-standing ‘arms race’ between cyberattackers and cybersecurity practitioners has left both sides with new opportunities to act faster than ever before using AI,” he said.
