Washington: More than 10 bogus ChatGPT apps that were created to defraud users have been blocked by Facebook, the parent company of social media behemoth meta. The business has found that con artists are using the public’s interest with ChatGPT, an AI-based language model to persuade people into downloading malicious software and browser.
The cybercriminals behind these fraudulent apps are launching attacks and compromising accounts all voer internet. By taking advantage of people’s faith in ChatGPT, once a user downloads the malicious software, the attackers can keep developing new strategies to get around security measures.
Since the presence of online fraud is making the internet more dangerous, Meta has identified and prevented the sharing of over 1000 different malicious URLs on their apps. Further, Meta has informed the file-sharing platforms where the malware was hosted about them so that they can take necessary action.
