TempoCap portfolio company, CybelAngel, uncovers millions of Facebook users compromised by deceptive ChatGPT

Researchers at CybelAngel came across an exposed database of stolen personal information that hosted data collected from a malware-laced, fake ChatGPT browser extension.

CybelAngel came across this database within the frame of their activities “We scan unprotected assets on a daily basis, and we paid closer attention to this Mongo after it matched for several of our clients.” Based on the structure of the database, it is clear that the actor was after the Facebook accounts.
