Hackers Gone Wild: How Google’s Gemini Became the Cybercriminals’ New Best Friend
Generative AI poses a severe risk, but not because of the technology itself—it’s the people misusing it. As hackers from Iran, China, and North Korea exploit Google’s Gemini AI for cyberattacks and scams, the true challenge lies in preventing these tools from falling into the wrong hands.

Hot Take:
Well, it seems Google’s Gemini AI has become the new favorite toy of hackers from Iran, China, and North Korea. Who would’ve thought that a chatbot could moonlight as a cybercriminal’s sidekick? Perhaps it’s time to rename it “Gemini: The Hacktastic Edition.” And as for Russia’s absence from the list, maybe they’re just busy teaching their AI to dance ballet or something equally unexpected.
Key Points:
- Google’s Gemini AI is being exploited by hackers from Iran, China, and North Korea.
- Iranian hackers use it for reconnaissance and phishing attacks.
- Chinese cybercriminals harness it to find system vulnerabilities.
- North Korean hackers create fake job offers with Gemini AI.
- Concerns arise over AI tools being used for digital surveillance.
