Beware of Fake ChatGPT Apps and AI Tools Distributing Malware

Fake ChatGPT apps are being created by developers to trick users into paying for expensive subscriptions, according to a report by cybersecurity firm Sophos. These apps, known as fleeceware, bombard users with ads until they sign up for a subscription, which can cost anywhere from $10 a month to $70 a year. Sophos has reported these apps to Apple and Google, and many have been removed from their respective app stores. To access ChatGPT without getting scammed, users can sign up for OpenAI's ChatGPT Plus for $20 a month or use Bing Chat, which has partnered with OpenAI to bring ChatGPT to its search engine.
