ChatGPT Creates Polymorphic Malware

  • Jan 19, 2023

The use of AI-assisted coding has the potential to revolutionize the way we develop software, but it also poses new risks to cybersecurity. It is important for organizations to understand the potential for malicious use of AI models and take proactive steps to mitigate these risks. This includes investing in security research and development, proper security configuration and regular testing, and implementing monitoring systems to detect and prevent malicious use.  

It is important to note that the emergence of AI-assisted coding is a new reality that we must learn to adapt to and be proactive in securing against potential threats. The ability reduce or even automate the development process using AI is a double-edged sword, and it is important for organizations to stay ahead of the curve by investing in security research and development..

In this scenario, the researchers were able to bypass content filters by simply asking the question more authoritatively, which suggests that the security of the system was not properly configured. This highlights the importance of proper security configuration and regular testing to ensure that systems are protected against potential threats..

It is also important to note that ChatGPT is not the only AI language model with the potential to be used for malicious purposes. Other models like GPT-3 also have the same potential. Therefore, it is important for organizations to stay informed about the latest advancements in AI and its potential risks..

Furthermore, it is important to understand that the possibilities offered by AI are vast, and that we must continue to invest in research and development to stay ahead of potential threats. As the saying goes, "the future is already here, it's just not evenly distributed", and it is important for organizations to stay ahead of the curve by investing in security research and development to mitigate the potential risks of AI-assisted coding.

  • The Evolution of IP Camera Intelligence

    As the 30th anniversary of the IP camera approaches in 2026, it is worth reflecting on how far we have come. The first network camera, launched in 1996, delivered one frame every 17 seconds—not impressive by today’s standards, but groundbreaking at the time. It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
