AI could make it easier for some malevolent hackers to crack passwords. — AFP Relaxnews
Artificial intelligence has many uses, some of which can be malicious. Hackers could be tempted to use ChatGPT or other such tools to crack passwords and thereby illegally access personal data that is supposedly protected.
Hackers often spare no effort in coming up with new ways to achieve their duplicitous ends and some could very well use ChatGPT with such unscrupulous intent. With cleverly written prompts, they may indeed be able to obtain the passwords of some individuals, at least those who have chosen something related to their own life (date of birth, children's names, pets, etc) as a source of inspiration.
