Over 100,000 login credentials for OpenAI’s ChatGPT artificial intelligence chatbot were leaked onto the dark web, according to a report this week from Group-IB, a cybersecurity firm based in Singapore.

Group-IB wrote that the credential theft began in June 2022 but peaked at 26,802 stolen logins in May 2023. The theft, the report said, was orchestrated with the Raccoon Infostealer malware, which is downloaded by victims after receiving a phishing email.

Once infected, the malware collects login credentials, history, and cookies saved in web browsers. Group-IB said this can also include crypto wallet information. According to blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis, over $3 billion in cryptocurrency was stolen in 2022 alone.

One of the most common forms of cyberattacks, phishing attacks, come in the form of email, text messages, or messages on social media and include sending fraudulent communications like texts and messages on social media that appear to come from a reputable source.

“This type of malware infects as many computers as possible through phishing or other means in order to collect as much data as possible,” Group-IB wrote in a press release co-authored with ChatGPT. “Info stealers have emerged as a major source of compromised personal data due to their simplicity and effectiveness.”
