ChatGPT referred to a fraudulent website

Chatbot ChatGPT can provide links to sites with malware, according to the Futurism report. 

The publication asked the neural network from OpenAI about the Bronze Star and Medal of Honor winner William Goines, who in the early 1960s became the first black fighter of the United States Navy Seals. ChatGPT talked about it and referred to an unknown website called County Local News for more information.

If you click on the update button, the site will open in full-screen mode and show a series of fake virus notifications.

After allowing you to receive notifications from the site, it will start showing them already on the desktop. 

According to Futurism, ChatGPT recommended County Local News in other inquiries as well. 

Mark Stockley, a cybersecurity expert at Malwarebytes, noted that such sites can spread malware.

"Over the past 18 months, we have recorded a huge surge in fraudulent advertising as a vector of malware distribution. Criminals place ads on legally operating advertising networks in order to lure people to fake websites and trick them into downloading malware under the guise of a legal program," he said.

Recall that in June Elliptic analysts noted an increase in the use of AI in crypto crimes.
