"Malicious Ads Creep Into Bing Chat Responses"

Users of Microsoft's Bing Chat, a GPT-4-powered search engine introduced this year, are being targeted with malicious ads. According to researchers at Malwarebytes, searching for Advanced IP Scanner (network-scanning software) or MyCase (legal case management software) could result in an infection. Malwarebytes researchers tested Bing Chat with the query: "download advanced IP scanner." Bing Chat replied, "You can download Advanced IP Scanner from their official website." However, hovering over the link opened a dialog box where an ad for a malicious site is displayed above the link to the official website. This article continues to discuss Bing Chat ads leading users to malware-spreading sites.
