The Indian internet security agency CERT-In has issued a warning against FraudGPT, an AI-powered chatbot that is being used by fraudsters to create phishing emails, false websites and text messages. The chatbot simulates human-like conversations to deceive users into clicking on malicious links, downloading infected attachments, exposing them to malware infections and disclosing potentially sensitive information. CERT-In recommended users be cautious with unknown links and attachments, verify the authenticity of communications, keep security software updated, and keep their devices updated.
In the face of sophisticated cyber threats like FraudGPT, proactive measures and vigilance are paramount. By staying informed and implementing robust cybersecurity practices, individuals and businesses can fortify their defenses against these emerging dangers, ensuring a safer digital environment for all. FraudGPT is an AI Chatbot that leverages the capabilities of generative models to produce realistic and coherent text.
