Does ChatGPT Pose a Cybersecurity Threat

How to Secure Your Data When Using ChatGPT  

While ChatGPT is unlikely to steal your data, anyone discreetly observing your communication with a chatbot may violate your security and privacy. Please be mindful of the information you provide when interacting with ChatGPT. Never give out sensitive information like your name, address, login credentials, or credit card number. In addition, take the following precautions to protect your data from any conversational AI system: 

Up-to-date software 

Keep your software up to date with the most recent version. The most recent version may address security flaws that a threat actor could use to attack your data. 

Antivirus  

More than just protecting you from malware viruses and other dangerous programmes, the most advanced cybersecurity software does much more. 

Firewalls  

Firewalls are network barriers that regulate traffic and prevent malicious activities. Enable the firewall on your operating system. You can also enable your router's firewall for added security. Consider purchasing a private VPN service to encrypt your data and conceal your location. 

Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) 

Use MFA to protect all of your accounts. If the system detects any irregularities, an MFA code will be issued to your email or phone to authenticate a login attempt. 

Password security 

One of the most basic yet crucial lines of defence against a data intrusion is your password. Learn how to build a strong password for your accounts and use MFA and biometric security whenever possible. 

Monitor all accounts  

According to some experts, hackers may use ChatGPT's strong text generating capability to carry even more convincing phishing assaults. To keep secure, we recommend that you monitor all of your accounts, including bank sites, credit cards, emails, and even bitcoin. Protect these accounts with numerous layers of security and make sure all alarms are turned on. 

Network detection and response (NDR) 

Businesses should invest in network detection and response (NDR) technologies to prevent network-based assaults. A smart NDR system uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to detect hazardous trends and block unauthorised access, even if the hacker has stolen login credentials.
