I was cruising through the darknet this morning, as one does, and found. link to FraudGPT’s onion address using FreshOnions. Of course, this branded version (FraudGPT) version of the LLM is not new, reports of this were floating around in August last year, but, this is new to me on the darknet. So, what does this mean? Well, let me first start off that this may in fact be just an exit scam, or, it could have legit connections on the backend to a real LLM created for fraud. Being that it is on the darknet and they want payment, I kinda lean toward it being some kind of scam, as so many sites are in the darknet.
That said though, the reports of this LLM in other places are legit enough, and the capabilities of even just ChatGPT4 itself, not specifically trained to perform these illicit functions, can in fact be tricked by prompts into doing all these things due to the nature of how LLM’s are trained by scraping the totality of the internet to do what they do. So, all these kinds of activities are already in the training data sets already, it’s just a matter of prizing them out of the system and using them.
Anywhoodles, I generated some threat intel data on the notion if not reality of FraudGPT for you all here.
FraudGPT’s emergence might mark a significant shift in the threat landscape, where generative AI is exploited for malicious purposes. Its capabilities in phishing, malware creation, and other fraudulent activities make it a formidable tool in the hands of cybercriminals. The cybersecurity community must adapt and enhance defensive measures to combat these evolving AI-driven threats….
Now, consider this, what if they also created modules for this that included things like a plugin for SET and added voice synth to this as well? A soup to nuts automated tool to SE your targets and you, don’t even have to get on the phone!
Oooh, then think of this, with all these layoffs in the area of call centers, we will have the Evil AI going head to head with the corporate AI! On the phone, talking to each other….
Open the pod bay doors HAL…..
Oh yeah, here is a threat intelligence report for you all, should you want to use it for your own purposes, generated by ChatGPT and my trained AI Analyst ICEBREAKER
