In addition to Google's AI Gemini, DarkGemini has now appeared and fulfills the wishes of cyber gangsters and malware writers. The first editions are not yet particularly good, according to some security researchers. But neither were other AI services at the beginning. The development continues dangerously.
When ChatGPT was opened at the end of 2022 and introduced to the world, it didn't take long for the first reports of the misuse of the GenKI tool to make the rounds. A year later, the first AI tools that could be used by cybercriminals were leaked, namely FraudGPT, WormGPT and Co. All programs that are not based on ethical considerations, but have the ability to provide malicious information in response to corresponding requests. With the introduction of new Large Language Models (LLM), corresponding unethical models are only a matter of time.
In addition to Google Gemini, there is now Dark Gemini
It was a similar story with the presentation of Google's Gemini, as news from... Dark Gemini the round. How Dark reading writes, the AI-driven malicious front-end service likely modified the requests sent to legitimate LLMs to bypass restrictions on writing malicious programs and geolocating people in photos.
The success of the creators behind Dark Gemini should not be underestimated, as well as the threat it poses. Although, as some security researchers have said, the AI program is actually not a big hit, it shows how much is possible with little effort. A small front-end service is enough to partially break security policies that are intended to prevent criminal use of Large Language Models (LLM), such as ChatGPT and Google Gemini.

If you scale that up and think about large hacker gangs with their skills and capacity, then you realize what this seemingly insignificant hacker chat bot from the Dark Web really means for AI software. It is now all the more important that, on the one hand, through legislation and, on the other hand, through the adaptation of IT defenses, both the opportunities of using AI to make work easier, process optimization and strengthening IT security, as well as the threats posed by AI misuse are taken into account becomes.
