More than 100,000 compromised ChatGPT accounts found on the darknet

Singapore-based cybersecurity firm Group-IB has discovered ChatGPT credentials in more than 100,000 theft logs sold on the darknet over the past year.

Here's What We Know

The number of stolen accounts has steadily increased from 74 in June 2022 to 26,902 in May 2023. The problem is particularly prevalent in the Asia-Pacific region, which accounts for more than 40 per cent of stolen ChatGPT accounts.

The majority of logs (78,348) were hacked using Racoon. Vidar accounted for 12,984 and Redline for 6,773.

ChatGPT stores user request history and AI responses by default, experts say. Access to correspondence could expose corporate or personal secrets.

To prevent hacking, Group-IB advises regular password updates and the implementation of two-factor authentication.
