Security News > 2023 > June > Over 100,000 compromised ChatGPT accounts found for sale on dark web
Singapore-based threat intelligence outfit Group-IB has found ChatGPT credentials in more than 100,000 stealer logs traded on the dark web in the past year.
"Group-IB's experts highlight that more and more employees are taking advantage of the Chatbot to optimize their work, be it software development or business communications," said the company, adding that demand for account credentials was gaining "Significant popularity."
ChatGPT stores user query history and AI responses by default.
"Many enterprises are integrating ChatGPT into their operational flow. Employees enter classified correspondences or use the bot to optimize proprietary code," said Group-IB head of threat intelligence Dmitry Shestakov.
The problem is particularly rife in the heavily populated Asia Pacific region, which accounted for over 40 percent of stolen ChatGPT accounts in the time period Group-IB tracked.
Most logs were breached using the Racoon info stealer, with Vidar accounting for 12,984 and Redline for 6,773.
