Security News > 2024 > February > Microsoft Is Spying on Users of Its AI Tools
Microsoft announced that it caught Chinese, Russian, and Iranian hackers using its AI tools-presumably coding tools-to improve their hacking abilities.
In collaboration with OpenAI, we are sharing threat intelligence showing detected state affiliated adversaries-tracked as Forest Blizzard, Emerald Sleet, Crimson Sandstorm, Charcoal Typhoon, and Salmon Typhoon-using LLMs to augment cyberoperations.
The only way Microsoft or OpenAI would know this would be to spy on chatbot sessions.
I'm sure the terms of service-if I bothered to read them-gives them that permission.
Of course it's no surprise that Microsoft and OpenAI are spying on our usage of AI, but this confirms it.
