Hackers Abuse Real ChatGPT Links to Trick Windows Users Into Installing Malware
Scammers are using real shared ChatGPT links to fool Windows users into downloading harmful software. The trick relies on a fake message inside the shared chat that claims there is too much traffic and tells people to take extra steps outside the normal site.
Who is at risk
Windows users who open shared ChatGPT links, especially those who download files or follow unusual instructions, are most at risk.
What to watch for
Watch for shared ChatGPT pages that ask you to download something, run a file, copy and paste commands, or bypass the usual website experience.
What to do
Do not download or run anything from a shared ChatGPT link, close the page if it asks for extra steps, and scan your computer if you already followed the instructions.
