ChatGPT Integrates Malwarebytes for Free Scam Link and Message Detection

Wedoany.com Report on Feb 25th, Users can now leverage Malwarebytes for free within ChatGPT through a new integration to check suspicious links, phone numbers, SMS messages, and emails. This integration brings the cybersecurity company's real-time threat intelligence into the AI chatbot, helping users identify potential scams before clicking.

To enable this feature, users need to search for and connect the Malwarebytes app within ChatGPT settings, without creating an account or paying additional fees. Once connected, users can request Malwarebytes to check suspicious content within conversations, for example, by typing "Malwarebytes, is this a scam?" and pasting a link or uploading a screenshot.

Malwarebytes will scan and provide threat intelligence, risk level, and recommended actions. For instance, in a test, a job-related SMS was flagged as a fraudulent scam, and even when no matching record was found in its database, it still advised users to verify through official channels. Users can also directly report suspicious content to Malwarebytes via ChatGPT, helping to update its threat database.

This integration is available to users of ChatGPT Free and other versions, covering phishing, malware, and malicious domain detection. It serves as a real-time security assistant, providing quick assessments when users receive unfamiliar links or urgent messages, but it cannot replace antivirus software installed on devices. Malwarebytes is a cybersecurity company with 20 years of experience, offering various protection tools.
