Warning: OpenAI’s ChatGPT Can Lead You Into Scams—How a Simple Request Cost Me $2.5K!

A serious bug in the openai chatgpt program was reported by a user on X using the handle r_ocky.eth 🍌. In addition to issues with his programming, the issue cost him $2.5k in lost revenue. Let us examine what happened, how he discovered it, and how you might use the article’s main ideas to protect yourself.

Detection Of The Issue

The user began by claiming that he was attempting to develop a bump bot for http://pump.fun and that he needed assistance with the coding from @ChatGPTapp. He received what he requested, however he was not prepared for chatGPT to suggest a fake @solana API website. He lost about $2,500.

Understanding How the code worked

In the code he wrote and submitted, he stated that the "private_key" name value pair in the api test_buy_request that OpenAI suggested requests confirmation of his private key. The unfortunate thing is that the user entered his primary Solana wallet information in a hurry and made a mistake.

He was first suspicious about the scammer site because there was not much information about a possible hack, but after looking through the solanaapis.com index, he came to the conclusion that he had been fooled.

The malicious actor who played the part was smart and fast. The individual transferred his assets to his wallets as soon as he used his private key to launch the API. Mentioning his wallet FdiBGKS8noGHY2fppnDgcgCQts95Ww8HSLUvWbzv1NhX, he mentioned that a single request he made resulted in the transaction happening in just 30 minutes.
