The nefarious AI tool WormGPT has reemerged in a transformed avatar, abandoning its reliance on self-constructed models. Instead, it circumvents security measures by manipulating the system prompts of reputable large language models (like Grok by xAI and Mixtral by Mistral AI) to craft phishing emails and malicious scripts. Cato Networks, a leading cybersecurity firm, has uncovered that criminal syndicates are leveraging this technology to devise sophisticated cyberattack tools. This revamped WormGPT forces these models to forsake ethical guidelines, transforming them into unethical and harmful assistants, and is now offering subscription services on the dark web market.
