A server-side request forgery vulnerability in OpenAI's chatbot infrastructure can allow attackers to direct users to malicious URLs, leading to a range of threat activity.  Attackers are actively exploiting a flaw in ChatGPT that allows them to redirect users to malicious URLs from within the artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot application, with more than 10,000 exploit attempts in a week coming from a single malicious IP address.

Researchers from Veriti discovered the vulnerability in OpenAI’

OpenAI says it blocked several North Korean hacking groups from using its ChatGPT platform to research future targets and find ways to hack into their networks. "We banned accounts demonstrating activity potentially associated with publicly reported Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) affiliated threat actors," the company said in its February 2025 threat intelligence report. "Some of these accounts engaged in activity involving TTPs consistent with a threat group known as VELVET CHOLLI

Shortly after taking office, Donald Trump touted a new private business venture, led by OpenAI, which plans to spend half a trillion dollars over the next four years building the data centers and power production plants that America’s growing AI industry relies on.  “It’s big money and high-quality people,” Trump said during a January 21^st press announcement alongside Sam Altman from OpenAI, Larry Ellison from Oracle, and Masayoshi Son from SoftBank.  The project is “a resounding declaration of

The underground market for large illicit language models is lucrative, said academic researchers who called for better safeguards against artificial intelligence misuse.  Academics at the Indiana University Bloomington[1] identified 212 malicious LLMs on underground marketplaces from April through September 2024.  The financial benefit for the threat actor behind one of them, WormGPT, is calculated at US$28,000 over two months, underscoring the allure for harmful agents to break artificial intel

ChatGPT-maker OpenAI was hit by a cyberattack in 2023.  The threat actors were able to access internal discussions among researchers and other employees.  Corporate espionage?  According to media sources, the company had neither publicly disclosed the attack or informed the law enforcement authorities back then.  The breach was only made known among employees back in April 2023 during an internal meeting because its source code and customer data were not compromised. Affected data mostly include

A deal between Stack Overflow https://stackoverflow.com and OpenAI https://openai.com seems to have triggered a battle between the developer forum and its users.  On 06 May 2024, Stack Overflow announced a new deal in which user content would be scooped up by OpenAI to train ChatGPT.  As a forum for developers and programmers, Stack Overflow is home to technical posts and content that is valuable to a generative AI service like OpenAI's ChatGPT.

The announcement compelled at least one user to mo

Most attempts at building a humanoid robot, such as Tesla's Optimus, focus on assisting humans with physical, manual tasks. A company called Figure, https://www.figure.ai, is among the AI robotics startups unsatisfied with just movement.  The figure is trying to take its humanoid robots to the next level by integrating language, and the results are quite impressive.  The figure has designed their robots for the human world, using the human form.  Their robot, Figure 1, combines the human form's

Cyber security is undergoing a massive transformation, with Artificial intelligence (AI) at the forefront of this change, posing both a threat and an opportunity.  AI can potentially empower organizations to defeat cyberattacks at machine speed and drive innovation and efficiency in threat detection, hunting, and incident response.  Adversaries can use AI as part of their exploits.  It is never been more critical for us to design, deploy, and use AI securely.

ChatGPT started throwing out “unexpected responses” on the evening of 20 February 2024 according to OpenAI’s status page.  Users posted screenshots of their ChatGPT conversations full of wild, nonsensical answers from the AI chatbot.  “We are investigating reports of unexpected responses from ChatGPT,” said OpenAI on its status page at 6:40 pm ET that Tuesday night.  “We’re continuing to monitor the situation,” the company updated the page at 7:59 pm.[1]

OpenAI says the issue has been resolved a

It is no longer theoretical; the world's major powers are working with large language models to enhance offensive cyber operations.  Advanced persistent threats (APTs) aligned with China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia use large language models (LLMs) to enhance their operations.  New blog posts from OpenAI and Microsoft reveal that five prominent threat actors have used OpenAI software for research, fraud, and other malicious purposes.  After identifying them, OpenAI shuttered all their accounts

ChatGPT is a large language model (LLM) falling under the broad definition of generative AI.  The sophisticated chatbot was developed by OpenAI using the Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) model to understand and replicate natural language patterns with human-like accuracy.  The latest version, GPT-4, exhibits human-level performance on professional and academic benchmarks.  Without question, generative AI will create opportunities across all industries, particularly those that depend on l

Most of us have had or heard from a friend who has been the target of an email scammer pretending to be a friend in distress who needs money wired out of town or out of the country.  Now scammers are using the telephone to inform you that your loved one is in distress.  And the caller may sound “just like” your friend/relative. At that moment, your instinct would be to do anything to help them escape danger, including wiring money.  My father was a victim of such a scam, but he called me first f
