"Microsoft and OpenAI Uncover Nation-State Cyber Threats Enhanced by AI"

Microsoft and OpenAI have uncovered evidence of Russian, North Korean, Iranian, and Chinese-backed hacker groups using large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT to enhance their cyberattacks. These groups are utilizing LLMs for research, scripting, and refining their tools, raising concerns about the potential for AI-powered cybercrime. Microsoft is responding by shutting down associated accounts and assets, and is developing AI tools to counter these threats, including a new AI assistant called Security Copilot for cybersecurity professionals.
