Check Point Research (CPR) has found that cybercriminals are exploiting AI models DeepSeek and Qwen, which have weak anti-abuse provisions, to create harmful content. Threat actors are sharing jailbreaking techniques to manipulate these models for illicit purposes; for instance, developing malware to steal sensitive info and bypass banking protections. CPR warns against the escalating threat from these unregulated AI models, calling for stronger safeguards in AI technologies.
