ChatGPT-themed malware on the rise, warns Meta.

Hackers are using ChatGPT-themed lures to spread malware across Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, according to a report by Facebook's parent company, Meta. Since March 2023, Meta's security teams have uncovered 10 malware families using ChatGPT to deliver malicious software to users' devices. Attackers distributing the DuckTail malware have increasingly turned to these AI-themed lures to compromise businesses with access to Facebook ad accounts. Meta has also discovered a new malware called NodeStealer, which targets Windows-based browsers to steal cookies and saved login details to compromise Facebook, Gmail, and Microsoft Outlook accounts. Meta has added new features to help business users fend off malware attacks.
