Fox News reports that ChatGPT continues to cause controversy in the tech world, as a user claims to have created powerful data-mining malware.

.

A security researcher for Forcepoint, Aaron Mulgrew, shared how OpenAI's generative chatbot is able to create malware.

The researcher used a loophole to bypass ChatGPT's protections that are meant to prevent people from using the AI to create malware codes.

According to Mulgrew, after creating the code with separate lines, he was able to compile the functions into an undetectable data-stealing executable.

.

Fox News reports that the creation of this sophisticated malware was accomplished without a team of hackers, and Mulgrew himself didn't have to write a single line of code.

Mulgrew's private test, which was not publicly released, highlights the dangers of ChatGPT.

.

Fox News reports that Mulgrew, who claims to not have any advanced coding experience, was able to bypass ChatGPT's security measures with a simple test.

.

The malware that Mulgrew created scrubs files for any data that could be stolen from an infected device.

The program then breaks the data down, hides it within other images and uploads it to a Google Drive folder.

Fox News reports that by using simple prompts, Mulgrew was able to use ChatGPT to strengthen and refine the code to conceal it from detection.

Federal Report Criticizes EPA's Response to Lead in Michigan City's Water Supply

According to a new report, high levels of lead in drinking water in an impoverished Michigan city were not quickly reported to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) leadership. . Fox News reports that the EPA said that staff monitoring the state's response failed to "elevate" the issue of health risks to the city's residents. . In October of 2018, the Benton Harbor water system was notified by the state that water samples tested for lead had exceeded 15 parts per billion. Fox News reports that those numbers remained high through 2021, when the issue gained national attention. At the time, residents were told to switch to bottled water for basic needs while state officials worked to quickly remove the city's lead pipes. In 2016, the EPA passed its Policy on Elevation of Critical Public Health Issues following a similar lead-contaminated water crisis in Flint, Michigan. In February of 2022, federal auditors announced a probe into the government's response to lead contamination in Benton Harbor. .

According to Cyndi Roper, the Natural Resources Defense Council's senior policy advocate, the Benton Harbor response was , "another abject failure of the EPA.". The EPA must do better to end the public health disaster linked to lead- contaminated drinking water, starting with issuing and enforcing a new federal lead and copper rule that will finally tackle the lead crisis, so no other community is poisoned by leaded tap water, Federal auditors' report on EPA response, via Fox News
