Will ChatGPT Become the World’s No. 1 Hacker?
The general availability of sophisticated large language models raise obvious concerns regarding cyber security implications, since malicious actors are known to be early adopters of such technologies. This talk will provide a high-level introduction to large language models and present a structured taxonomy of the associated risks. Then a deep-dive into the malicious uses of such tools is provided by leveraging OpenAI’s ChatGPT for demonstration purposes. Finally, the talk will also cover an overview of how defenders can make use of large language models for cyber defence.

The good, the bad and the ugly of ChatGPT in the Cyber Security world
ChatGPT has both positive and negative impacts on Cyber Security. On one hand, defenders can use ChatGPT to generate code to simulate adversaries or even automate tasks to make work easier. It can also be used for vulnerability assessment by automatically analyzing software code to find and report vulnerabilities. On the other hand, ChatGPT’s ability to write malicious code can be exploited by attackers. The cybersecurity implications of ChatGPT can be vast, especially for email exploits. In particular, Polymorphic malware is a type of malware that constantly changes its identifiable features in order to evade detection. It can take many forms such as viruses, worms, bots, trojans or keyloggers and spreads through phishing emails, malicious websites and dangerous links.

AI-Powered Email Attacks and Defenses
ChatGPT and other text-generating AI technologies come with opportunities and risks. In this talk we will present how threat actors can use these technologies to their advantage by leveraging text-generating AI to craft unique and highly convincing social engineering attacks. We will further explore the potential of these technologies for offensive applications and we will present different strategies to protect your organization against AI-powered email attacks.
