Hackers affiliated with Russian, North Korean and Chinese governments use ChatGPT. OpenAI said it had removed accounts linked to hackers, who used artificial intelligence.

Emerald Sleet, a North Korean hacker group, and Crimson Sandstorm, associated with the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, used the chatbot to generate documents that could be used for “phishing,” according to the study. “Phishing” consists of presenting yourself to an Internet user under a false identity to obtain illegal access to passwords, codes, identifiers.
