Over 101,000 compromised ChatGPT account login credentials have been reportedly discovered on dark web marketplaces in the last year as a result of the rising popularity of OpenAI’s AI chatbot.
More than 26,800 ChatGPT credentials were discovered in May alone, according to cybersecurity firm Group-IB, reaching a record high since the company started monitoring the data.
“Many enterprises are integrating ChatGPT into their operational flow,” said Dmitry Shestakov, Head of Threat Intelligence at Group-IB. “Employees enter classified correspondences or use the bot to optimize proprietary code. Given that ChatGPT’s standard configuration retains all conversations, this could inadvertently offer a trove of sensitive intelligence to threat actors if they obtain account credentials.”
From Breitbart:
A compromised ChatGPT account raises unique and potentially serious security issues. OpenAI unveiled a function that stores a user’s chat history a few months ago. This implies that all sensitive information entered into ChatGPT can be seen by a hacker if they have access to a user’s ChatGPT history.
