While many enterprises have eagerly adopted ChatGPT, some IT leaders have restricted its use due to security concerns. Cybercriminals have already started using ChatGPT to develop malicious tools, posing significant security risks for organizations. Here are five ChatGPT security risks that enterprises need to be aware of:

  1. Malware: Generative AI can write malware, and malicious hackers can evade ChatGPT's guardrails, making it easier to create malicious code.

  2. Phishing and social engineering attacks: Cybercriminals can use ChatGPT to generate highly convincing text for spear-phishing and tailor it to fit various mediums, such as email, chatbots, and social media commentary.

  3. Exposure of sensitive data: Without proper security education and training, ChatGPT users could inadvertently put sensitive information at risk. Users may not realize that their input is publicly available and can be used to learn and respond to future requests.

  4. More skilled cybercriminals: Generative AI tools like ChatGPT could help millions of new cybercriminals gain technical proficiency, leading to elevated security risk levels overall.

  5. API attacks: Cybercriminals may eventually use ChatGPT to find APIs' unique vulnerabilities, prompting it to review API documentation, aggregate information, and craft API queries to uncover and exploit flaws more efficiently and effectively.
