Beware: Cybercriminals using 'limitless' AI tools like FraudGPT or WormGPT for frauds

Cybercriminals have ventured into the realm of advanced generative AI Chatbots known as FraudGPT and WormGPT, claiming to be "bots without limitations, rules, and boundaries," to carry out their malevolent activities.

As per a ToI reports, these Chatbots, recently emerging on the dark web, are now available for sale to anyone seeking to create phishing emails, malware, or cracking tools. Cyberexperts have cautioned people against these Chatbots.

"Built on the popular ChatGPT-3 technology, these Chatbots can generate realistic and coherent texts based on user prompts. Hackers employ these tools to create deceptive emails, fooling unsuspecting victims into believing they have received official business communications or bank notices," ToI quoted a cyberexpert.


FraudGPT can write malicious code, create undetectable viruses or malware, find non-VBV bins, generate phishing pages and hacking tools to infiltrate groups, sites, and markets. It can also craft scam pages or letters, discover leaks, vulnerabilities, and even access active cards. The Gujarat CID officials told ToI that FraudGPT vendors are well-known in underground dark web marketplaces like Empire, WHM, Torrez, Alphabay, and Versus.

"The access to FraudGPT Chatbot is sold over Telegram channel," added the CID official. Sources indicate that these Chatbots are available for a monthly subscription fee ranging from $200 to $1,700.

Experts also emphasized about the importance of having a "transparent corner" at home where family members can discuss any negative online experiences. They also highlighted the significance of promptly informing the 1930 helpline in case of cybercrime.
