About this episode
This week, we are joined by Or Eshed, Co-Founder and CEO from LayerX Security, discussing their work on "How We Discovered A Campaign of 16 Malicious Extensions Built to Steal ChatGPT Accounts." Researchers uncovered a coordinated campaign of 16 malicious browser extensions posing as ChatGPT productivity tools while secretly stealing user accounts.
The extensions intercept ChatGPT session authentication tokens and send them to attacker-controlled servers, allowing threat actors to impersonate users and access their conversations, files, and connected services like Google Drive or Slack. The findings highlight how AI-focused browser extensions are creating a new attack surface, emphasizing the need for organizations to closely monitor and restrict third-party AI tools.
