Iran Used ChatGPT to Plant Fake Articles in US Publications

ATLAS OWASP HIGH Significant risk · Prioritise patching ▲ 8.2 OpenAI (via HN)

An Iranian influence operation leveraged ChatGPT to generate disinformation articles that were successfully planted inside legitimate U.S. news publications, according to an OpenAI disclosure. The campaign demonstrates how state-sponsored actors are operationalising large language models to scale credible-looking propaganda at reduced cost and effort. This represents a meaningful escalation in AI-assisted information warfare targeting Western media ecosystems.

Model Extraction Attacks Surge: Google GTIG Q4 Report

ATLAS OWASP HIGH Significant risk · Prioritise patching ▲ 8.5 Mandiant Blog

Google Threat Intelligence Group's Q4 2025 AI Threat Tracker documents a meaningful escalation in adversarial AI misuse, including a surge in model extraction (distillation) attacks, nation-state operationalisation of LLMs for phishing and reconnaissance, and the emergence of AI-integrated malware families such as HONESTCUE that leverage Gemini's API. While no breakthrough capabilities have been observed from APT actors, the integration of agentic AI for tooling development signals a maturing threat landscape. Defenders should prioritise monitoring for model extraction activity, API abuse, and AI-augmented social engineering campaigns.
