DarkHorseEntrepreneur.com/s6e561 - Tracy warns that many “make money with ChatGPT” opportunities are actually malware scams targeting users rather than OpenAI. It cites a cybersecurity firm’s findings of over 101,000 devices infected with malware designed to steal ChatGPT logins and notes that nearly 27,000 stolen credential sets were sold on the dark web in a single month. The scams use convincing fake apps and browser extensions to capture logins, and stolen access can expose saved conversation history containing sensitive business, financial, client, and personal details. It also describes a case in which a Kansas bank CEO was scammed via a fake investment advisor on WhatsApp, leading to massive losses, the bank’s collapse, and a 24-year federal prison sentence. The episode urges viewers to verify legitimacy before pursuing AI opportunities and references a full episode with checks to perform in one’s account.
