OpenAI announced the disruption of over 20 cyber and influence operations involving Iranian and Chinese state-sponsored hackers.
Three threat actors, including CyberAv3ngers linked to Iran's IRGC, were found to be using OpenAI's ChatGPT for launching cyberattacks.
The observed behavior involved reconnaissance, searching for vulnerabilities, code debugging assistance, and seeking information on security tools and vulnerabilities.
Another Iranian group, Storm-0817, used ChatGPT for Android malware development, creating an Instagram scraper, and translating LinkedIn profiles into Persian.
