THE BIG INSIGHT

FraudGPT — a new wave of generative AI tools are the future of malicious online attacks

It was only a matter of time before the bad guys started using AI. And well, I guess that time is now.

Released last month, malicious AI tools like FraudGPT and WormGPT are the talk of the town in the shady alleys of the dark web. According to cloud security company Netenrich, FraudGPT can:

• Write malicious code

• Create undetectable malware

• Create phishing pages

• Create hacking tools

• Write scam pages/letters

These are just some of the malicious mischiefs FraudGPT can generate. The subscription price starts at $200 per month and goes all the way up to $1700.

But it’s not all doom and gloom. In an interview with VetureBeat, chief scientist and senior VP at Crowdstrike Sven Krasser said that tools like FraudGPT help increase the quantity of malicious attacks, but the quality remains the same as before.

Krasser says: “Generative AI is not pushing the bar any higher when it comes to these malicious techniques, but it is raising the average and making it easier for less skilled adversaries to be more effective.“

The article goes on to say that the sophistication of these generative AI tools is nowhere near the capabilities that governments around the world currently possess.

RESEARCH

AI can predict keystrokes with 93% accuracy

Researchers from the UK have developed a deep learning model that can interpret remote keystrokes with over 90% accuracy based on the sound profiles of individual keys.

The study demonstrated that machine learning, microphones, and video calls present a significant threat to keyboard security, especially for laptops with uniform, non-modular keyboards. The researchers achieved higher than 93% accuracy in their tests, with phone-recorded audio reaching 95-96% accuracy. Read more
