The threat landscape has been bustling in the second half of 2023, according to cybersecurity provider ESET.
In its Threat Report: H2 2023, the firm recorded many significant cybersecurity incidents between June and November 2023, a period dominated by AI-related malicious activity and the emergence of new Android spyware.
According to the report, a new economy has arisen around OpenAI API keys and the ChatGPT name during that period, luring legitimate participants and cybercriminals alike.
ESET telemetry in H2 2023 blocked over 650,000 attempts to access malicious domains whose names include the string ‘chapgpt’ or similar text in an apparent reference to the ChatGPT chatbot.
“While most blocks happened in June, the succeeding months saw website visitors encountering a steady stream of malicious domains superficially offering OpenAI services,” the report reads.
