ChatGPT & Grok Malware Alert: Infostealers Target Users

  • Cybercriminals are using OpenAI's ChatGPT to install data-stealing malware (infostealers) on devices.
  • A campaign uses paid Google ads to trick users into installing malware disguised as an "Atlas browser" for macOS via ChatGPT.
  • Grok is also being misused to deliver poisoned search results for device troubleshooting queries.
  • Malicious guides prompt users to execute commands in Mac's Terminal, leading to the installation of the "Atomic macOS Stealer" (AMOS).
  • To stay safe, avoid sponsored troubleshooting search results, don't use AI for device troubleshooting, and be wary of executing commands from LLMs.

Why It Matters: Beware: ChatGPT and Grok are being weaponized by cybercriminals to steal your data.
