Microsoft has revealed its legal action against a foreign-based threat actor group exploiting generative AI services to create harmful content and evade safety controls.
The tech giant's Digital Crimes Unit noted that the threat actors developed sophisticated software using exposed credentials to access AI services unlawfully and monetize the access.
In the wake of discovering these activities, Microsoft has revoked the group's access, implemented new countermeasures, and obtained court orders to prevent further breaches.
Threat actors are abusing AI tools for malicious purposes like generating prohibited content and developing malware, with documented involvement from nation-state groups.
