Hi All
A hacker has exploited a leading artificial intelligence chatbot to conduct the most comprehensive and lucrative AI cyber criminal operation known to date, using it to do everything from find targets to write ransom notes.
In a report published Tuesday, Anthropic, the company behind the popular Claude chatbot, said that an unnamed hacker “used AI to what we believe is an unprecedented degree” to research, hack and extort at least 17 companies.
Cyber extortion, where hackers steal information like sensitive user data or trade secrets, is a common criminal tactic. And AI has made some of that easier, with scammers using AI chat-bots for help writing phishing emails. In recent months, hackers of all stripes have increasingly incorporated AI tools in their work.
But the case Anthropic found is the first publicly documented instance in which a hacker used a leading AI company’s chatbot to automate almost an entire cybercrime spree.
