A recent study conducted on a dark web forum has shed light on the most discussed topics among hackers, revealing some intriguing and unsettling predictions.
One concerning trend that is expected to rise is the circulation of leaked nudes from platforms like OnlyFans and Instagram. What’s even more alarming is the increasing use of AI and deepfake technology to create fake nudes, deceiving unsuspecting users.
Another popular topic among hackers is the hacking of ChatGPT accounts, along with tutorials on utilizing AI for malicious purposes. It seems that hackers are now exploring ways to harness the power of AI to enhance their efficiency and effectiveness in carrying out attacks.
The study also indicates a growing interest in hacking among amateurs, with approximately one in ten forum posts seeking guidance on executing various types of attacks. Furthermore, hackers are increasingly sharing their knowledge with one another.
In addition, the sale of customer data is expected to escalate, encompassing social media credentials, driver licenses, addresses, emails, and other personal information. Unfortunately, biometric authentication methods may not provide a foolproof solution, as hackers have already discovered ways to bypass certain methods like selfie verification used by some cryptocurrency platforms.
While these predictions for 2023 may not be ideal, being aware of potential threats can help us better protect ourselves.
