Group-IB’s annual High Tech Crime Trends report revealed 225,000 stolen ChatGPT stealer logs were found for sale on the dark web between January and October 2023, with a 36% increase in the number of logs from June to October. This poses significant security risks for businesses, as compromised logins expose sensitive information, prompting the recommendation for enabling multifactor authentication and regular password changes.
From the meeting notes, it’s clear that there is an ongoing issue with the theft of ChatGPT credentials being advertised and sold on the dark web. The Singapore-based threat intelligence firm Group-IB has reported significant increases in the number of stolen logs containing credentials for ChatGPT. These compromised logins pose significant security risks, especially for businesses relying on ChatGPT for work optimization and storage of sensitive information.
The increase in the number of stolen credentials is attributed to the rise in the number of hosts infected with information stealers, indicating a growing trend in cybercrime. It’s recommended to enable multifactor authentication and regularly change passwords for ChatGPT, particularly for those using it for work purposes. The escalating exploitation of ChatGPT for illicit activities highlights the importance of safeguarding sensitive information stored or exchanged through the platform.
This situation underscores the need for increased vigilance and proactive security measures to protect against unauthorized access and potential data breaches. It’s key for businesses and individuals to prioritize security measures and stay informed about evolving cyber threats in order to mitigate risks related to compromised credentials and potential exposure of sensitive information.
