Tech Tuesday: Google Hackers

from Wisconsin's Midday News

ABC News Technology Reporter Mike Dobuski talks about how on Monday, Google announced it discovered a group of hackers trying to exploit a "Zero-Day" vulnerability in an unnamed two-factor authentication tool. The tech company's Threat Intelligence Group says it believes its intervention stopped the malicious action for now, but had it not intervened bad actors could've orchestrated a "mass exploitation event." Plus, the maker of ChatGPT is facing a new lawsuit from the family of FSU shooting victim Tiru Chabba. The suit claims the alleged shooter, Phoenix Ikner, used the popular AI chatbot to plan the shooting, and that OpenAI didn't do enough to stop that from happening.
