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.
