Hackers Build ChatGPT-Like AI for Phishing Scams from Stolen Files

Some bad people, called hackers, are building clever computer programs that can write and read like a human.

These programs are a bit like ChatGPT, a computer helper that can talk with you.

The hackers use these programs to read files they have stolen from people.

Then they use the programs to write fake messages, called phishing scams, to trick people.

Phishing scams are messages that pretend to be from a real company to get your secrets.

The hackers even make fake reports that look like real finance or cryptocurrency documents.

These documents look like normal work files, so people trust them.

If someone opens a fake file, their computer could get a virus.

Hackers use these tricks to steal sensitive information or money.

So it is important to be careful about which messages and files you open.
