New MessiahGPT AI Model Fueling Automated Ransomware and Phishing Attacks
Brief
A criminal AI service called MessiahGPT is being marketed on BreachForums as an uncensored platform for creating ransomware, phishing kits, stealers, crypters, rootkits, and social-engineering content.
Trellix researchers describe it as part of a growing underground market that turns offensive AI capabilities into a cheap subscription service.
MessiahGPT is advertised as a model built without the safety protections used by mainstream AI platforms. Its operators claim it has no Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback, Constitutional AI controls, or internal restrictions related to illegal or harmful requests.
The service is linked to a live website, messiahgpt[.]de, and an associated Telegram community, and its marketing reportedly targets users seeking assistance with malware development and fraud.
