Cybersecurity researchers from Bitdefender have uncovered a disturbing trend where cybercriminals exploit Facebook’s advertising platform to promote counterfeit versions of popular generative AI tools, including OpenAI’s Sora, DALL-E, ChatGPT 5, and Midjourney.
These fraudulent Facebook ads are designed to trick unsuspecting users into downloading malware-infected software, leading to the theft of sensitive personal information. The hackers hijack legitimate Facebook pages of well-known AI tools like Midjourney to impersonate these services, making false claims about exclusive access to new features.
