Well, the popularity of ChatGPT has opened up new opportunities for hackers (hackers) to trick the public. The latest findings, hackers pretend to provide free access to ChatGPT.
Security researcher Dominic Alvery cites the chat-gpt-pc-online site as an example. When opening the domain, it seems as if the user can download the free ChatGPT application for Android phones.
If tricked into downloading the link, the user’s device will be infected with the ‘RedLine’ virus. This virus will steal sensitive user information, it can even break into bank accounts and crypto wallets.
Research firm Cyble reports there are many malware-ridden domains masquerading as ChatGPT links. For example, chatgpt-go.online, chat-gpt-pc.online, and openai-pc-pro.online.

Apart from fake domains, there are more than 50 fake ChatGPT apps circulating in the Play Store. This app uses the ChatGPT-like logo, icon and naming. For example, ChatGPT1 and AI Photo.
