Fake ChatGPT Chrome Extension Targets Facebook Accounts

 

As ChatGPT becomes increasingly well-known, more and more individuals desire to use cutting-edge chatbot. In turn, this makes them a desirable target for cybercriminals. 

This time around, hackers are using a browser extension called “Quick access to Chat GPT” as a ruse to trick unwary users, claims a recent blog post from the online privacy company Guardio. A while back, fake ChatGPT apps were used to spread malware and steal passwords. The extension, which has since been taken down from the Chrome Web Store, does, however, genuinely provide users access to the chatbot, unlike other fraudulent ChatGPT apps. 

The extension does this while also stealing every cookie that is saved in your browser, including security and session tokens for websites like YouTube, Twitter, and even your Google account. The hackers behind the extension can access your online accounts and steal your passwords with this information, while the primary target of the extension is Facebook accounts.
