"The message was designed to catch my attention by mentioning several things I am very into: decentralized machine learning, robotics, and the creature of chaos that is OpenClaw."
"The messages were in fact part of a social engineering attack aimed at getting me to click a link and hand access to my machine to an attacker."
"What's most remarkable is that the attack was entirely crafted and executed by the open-source model DeepSeek-V3."
A recent experience revealed the advanced capabilities of artificial intelligence in social engineering attacks. A message appeared on a laptop, seemingly from a researcher discussing decentralized learning in robotics. The correspondence included references to known projects and offered a Telegram bot for coordination. However, the message was part of a social engineering attack designed to gain access to the user's machine. The attack was executed by the DeepSeek-V3 model, which crafted engaging responses to manipulate the recipient's interest.
