Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Coje_He for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, July 17 (Xinhua)-- according to security analysis company SlashNext, some hackers recently developed an AI tool called WormGPT. The hackers claimed that "the AI tool has no restrictions and is designed to assist cyber criminals and is free to generate a series of malicious code or create phishing attacks."

SlashNext said that WormGPT first appeared in March this year and launched an official version in June, and hackers are now selling the right to use the AI tool.

▲ source SlashNext hackers said on the sales page: "the AI tool aims to provide an alternative to ChatGPT to facilitate users to perform a variety of black hat-related activities, so that anyone can comfortably carry out malicious activities at home."

The hackers claimed that to create the chat robot, they used an older but open source large language model called GPT-J, which was launched in 2021. Then, after training the data related to the creation of malware, the model finally forms WormGPT.

▲ source SlashNext hackers sell access to the AI tool for 60 euros a month or 550 euros a year (about 4408.95 yuan), and the hackers who designed WormGPT also uploaded screenshots showing that users can request the tool to generate malware written in the Python programming language.

SlashNext, a security analysis company, obtained the right to use WormGPT and conducted a series of tests, saying:

The result is disturbing. The phishing email produced by WormGPT is not only very persuasive, but also strategically cunning, demonstrating its evil potential.

According to this, ▲ Tu Yuan SlashNext Security Company believes that with the popularization of AI technology, such AI tools, which are "completely created for network attacks", may be abused by hackers, thus posing a major threat.
