Since its beta launch in November, AI chatbot ChatGPT has been used for a wide range of tasks. Now we can add malware development and the pursuit of other types of cybercrime to the list.

Researchers reported that within a few weeks of ChatGPT going live, participants in cybercrime forums were using it to write software and emails that could be used for ransomware, and other malicious tasks.

“It's still too early to decide whether or not ChatGPT capabilities will become the new favorite tool for participants in the Dark Web,” company researchers wrote. “However, the cybercriminal community has already shown significant interest and are jumping into this latest trend to generate malicious code.”
