Criminal Use of AI Growing, But Lags Behind Defenders

Hi All

Some good news for the time being:

At the 2024 RSA Conference, taking place this week in San Francisco, Trend Micro on Wednesday delivered an update on its 2023 investigation into the criminal use of gen-AI. “Spoiler: criminals are [still] lagging behind on AI adoption.”

In summary, Trend Micro has found only one criminal LLM: WormGPT. Instead, there is a growing incidence, and therefore potential use, of jail-breaking services: EscapeGPT, BlackHatGPT, and LoopGPT. (The RSA presentation is supported by a separate Trend Micro blog.)

There is also an increasing number of ‘services’ whose purpose is unclear. These provide no demo and only mention their supposed capabilities: high on claims but low on proof. FraudGPT is one example.
