GPT-4 Can’t Stop Helping Hackers Make Cybercriminal Tools by iblametom
... [+]OpenAI released the latest version of its machine learning software, GPT-4, to great fanfare this week. One of the features the company highlighted about the new version was that it was supposed to have rules protecting it from cybercriminal use.
To have GPT-4 help craft phishing emails, the researchers took two approaches. In the first, they used GPT-3.5, which didn’t block requests to craft malicious messages, to write a phishing email impersonating a legitimate bank. They then requested GPT-4, which had initially refused to create an original phishing message, to improve the language.
“GPT-4 can empower bad actors, even non-technical ones, with the tools to speed up and validate their activity,” the Check Point researchers noted in their report, handed toahead of publication. “What we’re seeing is that GPT-4 can serve both good and bad actors. Good actors can use GPT-4 to craft and stitch code that is useful to society; but simultaneously, bad actors can use this AI technology for rapid execution of cybercrime.
Sergey Shykevich, threat group manager at Check Point, said it appeared barriers in place to stop GPT-4 from generating phishing or malicious code were actually lower than in previous versions. He suggested that may be because the company is relying on the fact that only premium users currently have access. Nevertheless, he added, OpenAI should have expected such workarounds. “I think they are trying to prevent and reduce them, but it is a game of cat and mouse,” he added.
