New Unrestricted AI Tool Can Assist In Cybercrime
KnowBe4, Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Researchers at Certo warn that a new AI chatbot called 'Venice'.'ai' can allow cybercriminals to easily generate phishing messages or malware code.
The tool, which only costs $18 per month, is growing in popularity on criminal forums.
'One of the starkest contrasts between Venice'.'ai and more mainstream AI systems like ChatGPT is how each responds to harmful or malicious requests,' Certo says.
'Where ChatGPT typically refuses to assist - citing OpenAI's usage policies and ethical safeguards - Venice.ai takes a very different approach. In fact, Certo's testing revealed not only that Venice will provide malicious output, but that it appears designed to do so without hesitation.'
