OpenAI has banned Cambodia-based accounts that used ChatGPT to create virtual identities for online fraud.
OpenAI stated on July 31 that it has banned a batch of ChatGPT accounts linked to a Cambodian fraud network. The network uses ChatGPT to create fake identities, translate scam messages and produce promotional content, gaining victims' trust through methods like romantic connections or friendship, then inducing them to participate in fake cryptocurrency or gold investment projects. The relevant clues were initially provided by WhatsApp, and the involved individuals may be operating in the Poipet area of Banteay Meanchey Province, Cambodia. OpenAI has shared the relevant information with industry partners. The specific losses caused by the network are currently unclear, with some victims reportedly losing thousands of dollars. (IT Home)
