Kaspersky researchers have identified a new and ongoing malware campaign that capitalises on the increasing popularity of the ChatGPT AI chatbot which has garnered overwhelming attention from IT enthusiasts, creatives, and other individuals for several months.
Scammers create groups on social networks that convincingly mimic official OpenAI accounts, or at least appear to be communities of ChatGPT enthusiasts. Once the users click on the link from the post, they are directed to a well-crafted website that looks almost identical to the official ChatGPT website. The site prompts the user to download a purported ChatGPT version for Windows which is, in fact, an archive with an executable file. The installation process begins, but stops abruptly with an error message stating that the program could not be installed. Users may think the program simply was not able to install and forget about it.
The attackers behind the Trojan are particularly interested in stealing cookies and login credentials from Facebook, TikTok, and Google accounts – especially those related to businesses. The Trojan steals login credentials and attempts to obtain additional information, like the amount of money spent on advertising and the current balance of business accounts.
