Crooks don't need ChatGPT to social-engineer victims, as they're more than happy to demonstrate
Crooks are becoming more and more adept at using social engineering to hoodwink corporate executives into unwittingly helping the fiends break into organizations' networks — and it's not because the miscreants are using ChatGPT, according to folks at Kaspersky.
Social engineering, on the other hand, requires the crook to interact with their victim, in real or near-real time to build a relationship and establish trust. The ultimate being to fool or persuade the mark into doing something they shouldn't, such as grant the fraudster access to accounts and data that doesn't belong to them.
"Social engineering, when it is done well, requires a long time of observation and intelligence collection to understand the social connections in order to craft the initial attacks as best as possible," said Marco Preuss, deputy director of Kaspersky's Global Research and Analysis Team. In addition to seeing an uptick in convincing social engineering lures, the security researchers also discovered new implants, and a possible false-flag attack — or just better cooperation between Russian-speaking miscreants. An implant is a fancy word for malware someone secretly installs in a compromised network, allowing that intruder to carry out whatever nefarious activities they have planned.
