Along with tech companies, cybercriminals are also actively leveraging generative AI models for creating AI-powered chatbots. The growing rise of generative AI models has dramatically changed the threat scenario.
Exploiting ChatGPT’s popularity, threat actors create a copycat hacker tool to facilitate malicious activities using deceptive chatbot services.
Cybersecurity researchers at the Netenrich threat research team recently uncovered “FraudGPT,” an AI bot exclusively designed for offensive activities, available on Dark Web markets and Telegram.
Like WormGPT, FraudGPT uses a chat box to craft SMS phishing messages, effectively impersonating banks.
Not only that, but even for easier credit card theft, the bot can offer intel on ideal fraud websites and supply Visa bank IDs that are non-Verified.
By exploiting this new tool, FraudGPT, a skilled threat actor, can easily craft enticing emails to lure the recipients and make them click on the malicious links, which is crucial for BEC phishing campaigns.
FraudGPT is available on a subscription basis, with pricing ranging from $200 per month to $1,700 per year, providing hackers with an AI-driven resource to facilitate their malicious objectives.
Moreover, the developer highlighted the 3,000+ confirmed sales and reviews for FraudGPT on the forum and Telegram to lure threat actors.
Here below, we have mentioned all the subscription plans offered by the creator of FraudGPT:-

Ahead of the FraudGPT launch, on June 23, 2023, the threat actor established a Telegram Channel, posing as a verified vendor on Dark Web markets like:-
Anticipating frequent exit scams in marketplaces, the threat actor opted for a Telegram Channel to offer services seamlessly.
On July 13, 2023, a new technology called WormGPT was introduced, similar to FraudGPT. Unfortunately, it is being used by both criminals and those with limited tech knowledge to exploit others for financial gain.
Over time, criminals have learned to work around safeguards put in place by experts, making it easier for them to carry out their harmful activities.
However, to mitigate threats like this, a robust defense-in-depth strategy, coupled with comprehensive security telemetry, is essential.
