Etherscan, a widely used Ethereum block explorer, is integrating ChatGPT into the Code Reader. The tool is used for comprehensive analysis of the Ethereum blockchain. Last Monday, the company announced the latest tool, Code Reader, which is currently in beta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The Code Reader is a tool that leverages the power of AI to provide users with the ability to retrieve and interpret the source code of a specific contract address,\" <\/em>Etherscan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Etherscan's decision to integrate ChatGPT, it is clear that this AI technology is gaining traction within the blockchain ecosystem. By leveraging the power of ChatGPT, Etherscan aims to offer its user an enhanced experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last April, Solana Labs launched <\/a>its ChatGPT plugin, empowering developers with an interactive AI experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan Warns the Public<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan cautions users that the ChatGPT tool is meant for informational purposes only and advises against blindly accepting its responses. They emphasize the importance of independent verification and not relying on the tool for evidence or bug bounties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This disclaimer is significant due to the prevalent issue of AI chatbots generating false information. AI hallucinations occur when AI systems produce inaccurate results that lack real-world data support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the United Nations has raised <\/a>concerns about using AI-generated deep fakes to propagate hate and misinformation on social media. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Etherscan Introduces ChatGPT-Powered Tool","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"etherscan-introduces-chatgpt-powered-tool","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-21 15:34:52","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-21 05:34:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12124","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12051,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-18 22:06:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-18 12:06:55","post_content":"\n

Fortnite introduces <\/a>\"Airphoria,\" a new Nike-themed adventure within the game's Creative Mode. It offers players an exciting opportunity to embark on the ultimate 'sneaker hunt.' The event will be live until June 27, and players can earn free in-game sneakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the complimentary item is not an NFT, and this collaboration does not include any NFTs for apparel or accessories.

Nike's partnership with Fortnite does not introduce NFTs to the game but establishes a connection. This collaboration hints at Nike's potential use.

Etherscan, a widely used Ethereum block explorer, is integrating ChatGPT into the Code Reader. The tool is used for comprehensive analysis of the Ethereum blockchain. Last Monday, the company announced the latest tool, Code Reader, which is currently in beta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The Code Reader is a tool that leverages the power of AI to provide users with the ability to retrieve and interpret the source code of a specific contract address,\" <\/em>Etherscan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Etherscan's decision to integrate ChatGPT, it is clear that this AI technology is gaining traction within the blockchain ecosystem. By leveraging the power of ChatGPT, Etherscan aims to offer its user an enhanced experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last April, Solana Labs launched <\/a>its ChatGPT plugin, empowering developers with an interactive AI experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan Warns the Public<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan cautions users that the ChatGPT tool is meant for informational purposes only and advises against blindly accepting its responses. They emphasize the importance of independent verification and not relying on the tool for evidence or bug bounties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This disclaimer is significant due to the prevalent issue of AI chatbots generating false information. AI hallucinations occur when AI systems produce inaccurate results that lack real-world data support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an interview with Decrypt, Elan Halpern, Product Manager at Alchemy, he explained<\/a> their intention. He said it was to \"specifically cater to and train a model using ChatGPT that is Web3 development-specific\". <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This is real-time querying on the blockchain, like a developer would, using the API and writing a code script...This allows you to do that through natural language and normal sentences,\" <\/em>Halpern added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although no specific date was mentioned for the public release of the AlchemyAI, Halpern mentioned that it comprises the ChatGPT plugin and a programming assistant tool called Chat Web3, designed to support developers in their coding tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan, a widely used Ethereum block explorer, is integrating ChatGPT into the Code Reader. The tool is used for comprehensive analysis of the Ethereum blockchain. Last Monday, the company announced the latest tool, Code Reader, which is currently in beta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The Code Reader is a tool that leverages the power of AI to provide users with the ability to retrieve and interpret the source code of a specific contract address,\" <\/em>Etherscan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Wednesday, Polygon announced the launch<\/a> of 'Copilot,' a ChatGPT-powered guide assistant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Whether you're a serious builder, an enthusiast, or a curious user, Polygon Copilot is an AI-powered interface that unlocks a world of interactions simply by 'asking.\"<\/em> Polygon added, \"Its conversational UI represents a leap in the quality of user experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In partnership with LayerE, Polygon has developed Copilot, an application incorporating OpenAI's GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 technologies. Copilot is designed to offer users valuable insights, analytics, and guidance by leveraging its training on Polygon protocol documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"To ensure transparency and accuracy, [Copilot] shares the sources of the information included in its responses.\"<\/em> Polygon wrote in its post. \"This empowers users to verify the information and delve deeper into the topic. Additionally, Polygon Copilot goes beyond just answering questions by suggesting related inquiries, fostering an interactive and engaging experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factors to Consider When Using \"Copilot\"<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To prevent spamming and excessive computation load, Polygon Copilot limits its responses. However, users can earn additional credits by \"performing social tasks such as providing feedback or contributing to improving the offering.\"<\/em> Lucky users may also receive secret codes from partners, which can be redeemed for extra credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to answering queries, Copilot offers analytics and insights for NFTs, DeFi, and wallets through the \"\/stats\" command. It also facilitates the minting of zkEVM and PoS NFTs directly within the interface. With the inclusion of convenient hotkeys, Copilot enables faster and more efficient interaction, enhancing the overall speed and user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upcoming versions of Copilot will bring exciting additions, including new commands designed for various personas and use cases. These enhancements will accompany powerful extensions and plugins, enabling users to automate tasks and streamline processes within the protocol and dApp environments.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Polygon Introduces AI Assistant Chatbot Powered By ChatGPT","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"polygon-introduces-ai-assistant-chatbot-powered-by-chatgpt","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-23 06:31:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-22 20:31:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12163","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12144,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-22 06:54:01","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-21 20:54:01","post_content":"\n

Fortnite introduces <\/a>\"Airphoria,\" a new Nike-themed adventure within the game's Creative Mode. It offers players an exciting opportunity to embark on the ultimate 'sneaker hunt.' The event will be live until June 27, and players can earn free in-game sneakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the complimentary item is not an NFT, and this collaboration does not include any NFTs for apparel or accessories. Despite the association with the Nike brand, there are no plans for tokenized digital items in Fortnite. Epic Games decided to maintain its traditional approach to digital goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nike's partnership with Fortnite does not introduce NFTs to the game but establishes a connection. This collaboration hints at Nike's potential use.

Last Wednesday, Polygon announced the launch<\/a> of 'Copilot,' a ChatGPT-powered guide assistant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Whether you're a serious builder, an enthusiast, or a curious user, Polygon Copilot is an AI-powered interface that unlocks a world of interactions simply by 'asking.\"<\/em> Polygon added, \"Its conversational UI represents a leap in the quality of user experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In partnership with LayerE, Polygon has developed Copilot, an application incorporating OpenAI's GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 technologies. Copilot is designed to offer users valuable insights, analytics, and guidance by leveraging its training on Polygon protocol documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"To ensure transparency and accuracy, [Copilot] shares the sources of the information included in its responses.\"<\/em> Polygon wrote in its post. \"This empowers users to verify the information and delve deeper into the topic. Additionally, Polygon Copilot goes beyond just answering questions by suggesting related inquiries, fostering an interactive and engaging experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factors to Consider When Using \"Copilot\"<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To prevent spamming and excessive computation load, Polygon Copilot limits its responses. However, users can earn additional credits by \"performing social tasks such as providing feedback or contributing to improving the offering.\"<\/em> Lucky users may also receive secret codes from partners, which can be redeemed for extra credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to answering queries, Copilot offers analytics and insights for NFTs, DeFi, and wallets through the \"\/stats\" command. It also facilitates the minting of zkEVM and PoS NFTs directly within the interface. With the inclusion of convenient hotkeys, Copilot enables faster and more efficient interaction, enhancing the overall speed and user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upcoming versions of Copilot will bring exciting additions, including new commands designed for various personas and use cases. These enhancements will accompany powerful extensions and plugins, enabling users to automate tasks and streamline processes within the protocol and dApp environments.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Polygon Introduces AI Assistant Chatbot Powered By ChatGPT","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"polygon-introduces-ai-assistant-chatbot-powered-by-chatgpt","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-23 06:31:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-22 20:31:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12163","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12144,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-22 06:54:01","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-21 20:54:01","post_content":"\n

Fortnite introduces <\/a>\"Airphoria,\" a new Nike-themed adventure within the game's Creative Mode. It offers players an exciting opportunity to embark on the ultimate 'sneaker hunt.' The event will be live until June 27, and players can earn free in-game sneakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the complimentary item is not an NFT, and this collaboration does not include any NFTs for apparel or accessories.

Mitigation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To protect compromised ChatGPT accounts, Group-IB advises users to update their passwords regularly and enable two-factor authentication (2FA). Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide a verification code, usually sent to their mobile devices when accessing their ChatGPT accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting dark web communities helps organizations identify potential leaks or sales of sensitive data. Real-time Threat Intelligence allows them to take proactive actions, notify affected individuals, and strengthen their cybersecurity defences. By leveraging real-time threat intelligence, companies can better understand threats, protect their assets, and make informed decisions to enhance cybersecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Wednesday, Polygon announced the launch<\/a> of 'Copilot,' a ChatGPT-powered guide assistant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Whether you're a serious builder, an enthusiast, or a curious user, Polygon Copilot is an AI-powered interface that unlocks a world of interactions simply by 'asking.\"<\/em> Polygon added, \"Its conversational UI represents a leap in the quality of user experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In partnership with LayerE, Polygon has developed Copilot, an application incorporating OpenAI's GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 technologies. Copilot is designed to offer users valuable insights, analytics, and guidance by leveraging its training on Polygon protocol documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"To ensure transparency and accuracy, [Copilot] shares the sources of the information included in its responses.\"<\/em> Polygon wrote in its post. \"This empowers users to verify the information and delve deeper into the topic. Additionally, Polygon Copilot goes beyond just answering questions by suggesting related inquiries, fostering an interactive and engaging experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factors to Consider When Using \"Copilot\"<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To prevent spamming and excessive computation load, Polygon Copilot limits its responses. However, users can earn additional credits by \"performing social tasks such as providing feedback or contributing to improving the offering.\"<\/em> Lucky users may also receive secret codes from partners, which can be redeemed for extra credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to answering queries, Copilot offers analytics and insights for NFTs, DeFi, and wallets through the \"\/stats\" command. It also facilitates the minting of zkEVM and PoS NFTs directly within the interface. With the inclusion of convenient hotkeys, Copilot enables faster and more efficient interaction, enhancing the overall speed and user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upcoming versions of Copilot will bring exciting additions, including new commands designed for various personas and use cases.

However, the complimentary item is not an NFT, and this collaboration does not include any NFTs for apparel or accessories.

According to Group-IB's report, the Asia-Pacific region accounted for most of the stolen ChatGPT credentials, with approximately 41,000 compromised accounts. India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Bangladesh are among the countries. Group-IB advises users to update passwords and enable two-factor authentication for enhanced security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Many enterprises are integrating ChatGPT into their operational flow.\"<\/em> Dimitry Shestakov, Head of Threat Intelligence at Group-IB, said in the press release. \"Employees enter classified correspondences or use the bot to optimize proprietary code.

To protect compromised ChatGPT accounts, Group-IB advises users to update their passwords regularly and enable two-factor authentication (2FA).

The Singapore-based cybersecurity firm Group-IB reveals that hackers have leaked ChatGPT credentials on the dark web. The report indicates that the compromise has affected over 100,000 accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group-IB reported the theft using the Racoon Infostealer malware, which victims unknowingly downloaded through phishing emails. The report also wrote that the theft began in June 2022 and peaked in May 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Group-IB's report, the Asia-Pacific region accounted for most of the stolen ChatGPT credentials, with approximately 41,000 compromised accounts. India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Bangladesh are among the countries. Group-IB advises users to update passwords and enable two-factor authentication for enhanced security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Many enterprises are integrating ChatGPT into their operational flow.\"<\/em> Dimitry Shestakov, Head of Threat Intelligence at Group-IB, said in the press release. \"Employees enter classified correspondences or use the bot to optimize proprietary code. Given that ChatGPT's standard configuration retains all conversations, this could inadvertently offer a trove of sensitive intelligence to threat actors if they obtain account credentials.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mitigation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To protect compromised ChatGPT accounts, Group-IB advises users to update their passwords regularly and enable two-factor authentication (2FA). Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide a verification code, usually sent to their mobile devices when accessing their ChatGPT accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting dark web communities helps organizations identify potential leaks or sales of sensitive data. Real-time Threat Intelligence allows them to take proactive actions, notify affected individuals, and strengthen their cybersecurity defences. By leveraging real-time threat intelligence, companies can better understand threats, protect their assets, and make informed decisions to enhance cybersecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Wednesday, Polygon announced the launch<\/a> of 'Copilot,' a ChatGPT-powered guide assistant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Whether you're a serious builder, an enthusiast, or a curious user, Polygon Copilot is an AI-powered interface that unlocks a world of interactions simply by 'asking.\"<\/em> Polygon added, \"Its conversational UI represents a leap in the quality of user experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In partnership with LayerE, Polygon has developed Copilot, an application incorporating OpenAI's GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 technologies. Copilot is designed to offer users valuable insights, analytics, and guidance by leveraging its training on Polygon protocol documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"To ensure transparency and accuracy, [Copilot] shares the sources of the information included in its responses.\"<\/em> Polygon wrote in its post. \"This empowers users to verify the information and delve deeper into the topic. Additionally, Polygon Copilot goes beyond just answering questions by suggesting related inquiries, fostering an interactive and engaging experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factors to Consider When Using \"Copilot\"<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To prevent spamming and excessive computation load, Polygon Copilot limits its responses. However, users can earn additional credits by \"performing social tasks such as providing feedback or contributing to improving the offering.\"<\/em> Lucky users may also receive secret codes from partners, which can be redeemed for extra credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to answering queries, Copilot offers analytics and insights for NFTs, DeFi, and wallets through the \"\/stats\" command. It also facilitates the minting of zkEVM and PoS NFTs directly within the interface. With the inclusion of convenient hotkeys, Copilot enables faster and more efficient interaction, enhancing the overall speed and user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upcoming versions of Copilot will bring exciting additions, including new commands designed for various personas and use cases. These enhancements will accompany powerful extensions and plugins, enabling users to automate tasks and streamline processes within the protocol and dApp environments.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Polygon Introduces AI Assistant Chatbot Powered By ChatGPT","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"polygon-introduces-ai-assistant-chatbot-powered-by-chatgpt","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-23 06:31:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-22 20:31:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12163","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12144,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-22 06:54:01","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-21 20:54:01","post_content":"\n

Fortnite introduces <\/a>\"Airphoria,\" a new Nike-themed adventure within the game's Creative Mode. It offers players an exciting opportunity to embark on the ultimate 'sneaker hunt.' The event will be live until June 27, and players can earn free in-game sneakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the complimentary item is not an NFT, and this collaboration does not include any NFTs for apparel or accessories. Despite the association with the Nike brand, there are no plans for tokenized digital items in Fortnite. Epic Games decided to maintain its traditional approach to digital goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The connection between Fortnite and Nike doesn't integrate any NFTs or digital item trading marketplaces into the Fortnite world or its economy,\"<\/em> an Epic Games spokesperson told Decrypt. \"Items recognized across these two ecosystems are purely for the purchaser's enjoyment and aren't tradeable, transferrable, or sellable, as has always been the case in the Fortnite economy.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No In-Game NFTs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nike's partnership with Fortnite does not introduce NFTs to the game but establishes a connection. This collaboration hints at Nike's potential use. Swoosh is a platform for gaming and metaverse digital items. However, Nike's specific intentions in this regard are uncertain. It is worth noting that Swoosh is centered around user IDs based on NFTs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to answering queries, Copilot offers analytics and insights for NFTs, DeFi, and wallets through the \"\/stats\" command. It also facilitates the minting of zkEVM and PoS NFTs directly within the interface. With the inclusion of convenient hotkeys, Copilot enables faster and more efficient interaction, enhancing the overall speed and user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upcoming versions of Copilot will bring exciting additions, including new commands designed for various personas and use cases.

Etherscan, a widely used Ethereum block explorer, is integrating ChatGPT into the Code Reader. The tool is used for comprehensive analysis of the Ethereum blockchain. Last Monday, the company announced the latest tool, Code Reader, which is currently in beta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The Code Reader is a tool that leverages the power of AI to provide users with the ability to retrieve and interpret the source code of a specific contract address,\" <\/em>Etherscan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Etherscan's decision to integrate ChatGPT, it is clear that this AI technology is gaining traction within the blockchain ecosystem. By leveraging the power of ChatGPT, Etherscan aims to offer its user an enhanced experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan has joined the hype as AI started to influence blockchain companies. Alchemy unveiled <\/a>AlchemyAI last week, which utilizes ChatGPT technology for blockchain exploration.

Etherscan cautions users that the ChatGPT tool is meant for informational purposes only and advises against blindly accepting its responses. They emphasize the importance of independent verification and not relying on the tool for evidence or bug bounties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This disclaimer is significant due to the prevalent issue of AI chatbots generating false information. AI hallucinations occur when AI systems produce inaccurate results that lack real-world data support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In emerging technologies, Web3 refers to the next generation of the internet, characterized by decentralization, blockchain technology, and increased user control over data and digital assets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It aims to redefine how we interact and transact online, enabling peer-to-peer interactions, intelligent contracts, and decentralized applications (dApps). Web3 is envisioned as a more open, transparent, and user-centric internet that empowers individuals and removes the need for intermediaries in various online activities.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Survey Reveals Awareness of Crypto And NFTs, But Limited Knowledge About Web3","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"survey-reveals-awareness-of-crypto-and-nfts-but-limited-knowledge-about-web3","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-29 06:44:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-28 20:44:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12244","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12176,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-24 17:08:34","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-24 07:08:34","post_content":"\n

The Singapore-based cybersecurity firm Group-IB reveals that hackers have leaked ChatGPT credentials on the dark web. The report indicates that the compromise has affected over 100,000 accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group-IB reported the theft using the Racoon Infostealer malware, which victims unknowingly downloaded through phishing emails. The report also wrote that the theft began in June 2022 and peaked in May 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Group-IB's report, the Asia-Pacific region accounted for most of the stolen ChatGPT credentials, with approximately 41,000 compromised accounts. India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Bangladesh are among the countries. Group-IB advises users to update passwords and enable two-factor authentication for enhanced security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Many enterprises are integrating ChatGPT into their operational flow.\"<\/em> Dimitry Shestakov, Head of Threat Intelligence at Group-IB, said in the press release. \"Employees enter classified correspondences or use the bot to optimize proprietary code. Given that ChatGPT's standard configuration retains all conversations, this could inadvertently offer a trove of sensitive intelligence to threat actors if they obtain account credentials.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mitigation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To protect compromised ChatGPT accounts, Group-IB advises users to update their passwords regularly and enable two-factor authentication (2FA). Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide a verification code, usually sent to their mobile devices when accessing their ChatGPT accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting dark web communities helps organizations identify potential leaks or sales of sensitive data. Real-time Threat Intelligence allows them to take proactive actions, notify affected individuals, and strengthen their cybersecurity defences. By leveraging real-time threat intelligence, companies can better understand threats, protect their assets, and make informed decisions to enhance cybersecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"To ensure transparency and accuracy, [Copilot] shares the sources of the information included in its responses.\"<\/em> Polygon wrote in its post. \"This empowers users to verify the information and delve deeper into the topic. Additionally, Polygon Copilot goes beyond just answering questions by suggesting related inquiries, fostering an interactive and engaging experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Singapore-based cybersecurity firm Group-IB reveals that hackers have leaked ChatGPT credentials on the dark web. The report indicates that the compromise has affected over 100,000 accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group-IB reported the theft using the Racoon Infostealer malware, which victims unknowingly downloaded through phishing emails. The report also wrote that the theft began in June 2022 and peaked in May 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Group-IB's report, the Asia-Pacific region accounted for most of the stolen ChatGPT credentials, with approximately 41,000 compromised accounts. India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Bangladesh are among the countries. Group-IB advises users to update passwords and enable two-factor authentication for enhanced security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Many enterprises are integrating ChatGPT into their operational flow.\"<\/em> Dimitry Shestakov, Head of Threat Intelligence at Group-IB, said in the press release. \"Employees enter classified correspondences or use the bot to optimize proprietary code. Given that ChatGPT's standard configuration retains all conversations, this could inadvertently offer a trove of sensitive intelligence to threat actors if they obtain account credentials.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mitigation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To protect compromised ChatGPT accounts, Group-IB advises users to update their passwords regularly and enable two-factor authentication (2FA). Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide a verification code, usually sent to their mobile devices when accessing their ChatGPT accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting dark web communities helps organizations identify potential leaks or sales of sensitive data. Real-time Threat Intelligence allows them to take proactive actions, notify affected individuals, and strengthen their cybersecurity defences. By leveraging real-time threat intelligence, companies can better understand threats, protect their assets, and make informed decisions to enhance cybersecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Wednesday, Polygon announced the launch<\/a> of 'Copilot,' a ChatGPT-powered guide assistant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Whether you're a serious builder, an enthusiast, or a curious user, Polygon Copilot is an AI-powered interface that unlocks a world of interactions simply by 'asking.\"<\/em> Polygon added, \"Its conversational UI represents a leap in the quality of user experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In partnership with LayerE, Polygon has developed Copilot, an application incorporating OpenAI's GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 technologies. Copilot is designed to offer users valuable insights, analytics, and guidance by leveraging its training on Polygon protocol documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"To ensure transparency and accuracy, [Copilot] shares the sources of the information included in its responses.\"<\/em> Polygon wrote in its post. \"This empowers users to verify the information and delve deeper into the topic. Additionally, Polygon Copilot goes beyond just answering questions by suggesting related inquiries, fostering an interactive and engaging experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factors to Consider When Using \"Copilot\"<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To prevent spamming and excessive computation load, Polygon Copilot limits its responses. However, users can earn additional credits by \"performing social tasks such as providing feedback or contributing to improving the offering.\"<\/em> Lucky users may also receive secret codes from partners, which can be redeemed for extra credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to answering queries, Copilot offers analytics and insights for NFTs, DeFi, and wallets through the \"\/stats\" command. It also facilitates the minting of zkEVM and PoS NFTs directly within the interface. With the inclusion of convenient hotkeys, Copilot enables faster and more efficient interaction, enhancing the overall speed and user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upcoming versions of Copilot will bring exciting additions, including new commands designed for various personas and use cases. These enhancements will accompany powerful extensions and plugins, enabling users to automate tasks and streamline processes within the protocol and dApp environments.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Polygon Introduces AI Assistant Chatbot Powered By ChatGPT","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"polygon-introduces-ai-assistant-chatbot-powered-by-chatgpt","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-23 06:31:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-22 20:31:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12163","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12144,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-22 06:54:01","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-21 20:54:01","post_content":"\n

Fortnite introduces <\/a>\"Airphoria,\" a new Nike-themed adventure within the game's Creative Mode. It offers players an exciting opportunity to embark on the ultimate 'sneaker hunt.' The event will be live until June 27, and players can earn free in-game sneakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the complimentary item is not an NFT, and this collaboration does not include any NFTs for apparel or accessories.

Floating Point Group (FPG) has halted <\/a>trading, deposits, and withdrawals due to a \"cyber security incident\"<\/em> on Sunday. FPG is a prime crypto brokerage that manages over $50 billion worth of assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FPG immediately worked with third-party forensics experts and law enforcement upon discovering the incident. A spokesperson from FPG acknowledged the incident and stated that the firm had secured all wallets, locked third-party accounts, and is investigating the incident's extent and details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the spokesperson, FPG's account segregation helped minimize the attack's impact. The spokesperson mentioned that the exact loss is estimated to be between $15 million and $20 million in cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are working with the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, our regulators, and Chainalysis to understand how this occurred and to recover assets,\"<\/em> the spokesperson said. \"As this is an ongoing investigation with law enforcement, we cannot share specifics now. We will provide updates as they become available.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Web3?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the latest iteration of the internet, Web3 is still in the building process. So there is no single and established definition of it yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In emerging technologies, Web3 refers to the next generation of the internet, characterized by decentralization, blockchain technology, and increased user control over data and digital assets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It aims to redefine how we interact and transact online, enabling peer-to-peer interactions, intelligent contracts, and decentralized applications (dApps).

On the contrary, Web3 awareness ranked as the \"least-known\" concept against Metaverse and NFT. Only 24% of the respondents globally are aware of the idea. At the same time, Metaverse and NFT raked 36% and 34%, respectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Web3?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the latest iteration of the internet, Web3 is still in the building process. So there is no single and established definition of it yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In emerging technologies, Web3 refers to the next generation of the internet, characterized by decentralization, blockchain technology, and increased user control over data and digital assets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It aims to redefine how we interact and transact online, enabling peer-to-peer interactions, intelligent contracts, and decentralized applications (dApps). Web3 is envisioned as a more open, transparent, and user-centric internet that empowers individuals and removes the need for intermediaries in various online activities.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Survey Reveals Awareness of Crypto And NFTs, But Limited Knowledge About Web3","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"survey-reveals-awareness-of-crypto-and-nfts-but-limited-knowledge-about-web3","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-29 06:44:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-28 20:44:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12244","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12176,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-24 17:08:34","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-24 07:08:34","post_content":"\n

The Singapore-based cybersecurity firm Group-IB reveals that hackers have leaked ChatGPT credentials on the dark web. The report indicates that the compromise has affected over 100,000 accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group-IB reported the theft using the Racoon Infostealer malware, which victims unknowingly downloaded through phishing emails. The report also wrote that the theft began in June 2022 and peaked in May 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Group-IB's report, the Asia-Pacific region accounted for most of the stolen ChatGPT credentials, with approximately 41,000 compromised accounts. India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Bangladesh are among the countries. Group-IB advises users to update passwords and enable two-factor authentication for enhanced security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Many enterprises are integrating ChatGPT into their operational flow.\"<\/em> Dimitry Shestakov, Head of Threat Intelligence at Group-IB, said in the press release. \"Employees enter classified correspondences or use the bot to optimize proprietary code. Given that ChatGPT's standard configuration retains all conversations, this could inadvertently offer a trove of sensitive intelligence to threat actors if they obtain account credentials.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mitigation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To protect compromised ChatGPT accounts, Group-IB advises users to update their passwords regularly and enable two-factor authentication (2FA). Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide a verification code, usually sent to their mobile devices when accessing their ChatGPT accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting dark web communities helps organizations identify potential leaks or sales of sensitive data. Real-time Threat Intelligence allows them to take proactive actions, notify affected individuals, and strengthen their cybersecurity defences. By leveraging real-time threat intelligence, companies can better understand threats, protect their assets, and make informed decisions to enhance cybersecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Wednesday, Polygon announced the launch<\/a> of 'Copilot,' a ChatGPT-powered guide assistant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Whether you're a serious builder, an enthusiast, or a curious user, Polygon Copilot is an AI-powered interface that unlocks a world of interactions simply by 'asking.\"<\/em> Polygon added, \"Its conversational UI represents a leap in the quality of user experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In partnership with LayerE, Polygon has developed Copilot, an application incorporating OpenAI's GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 technologies. Copilot is designed to offer users valuable insights, analytics, and guidance by leveraging its training on Polygon protocol documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"To ensure transparency and accuracy, [Copilot] shares the sources of the information included in its responses.\"<\/em> Polygon wrote in its post. \"This empowers users to verify the information and delve deeper into the topic. Additionally, Polygon Copilot goes beyond just answering questions by suggesting related inquiries, fostering an interactive and engaging experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factors to Consider When Using \"Copilot\"<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To prevent spamming and excessive computation load, Polygon Copilot limits its responses. However, users can earn additional credits by \"performing social tasks such as providing feedback or contributing to improving the offering.\"<\/em> Lucky users may also receive secret codes from partners, which can be redeemed for extra credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to answering queries, Copilot offers analytics and insights for NFTs, DeFi, and wallets through the \"\/stats\" command. It also facilitates the minting of zkEVM and PoS NFTs directly within the interface. With the inclusion of convenient hotkeys, Copilot enables faster and more efficient interaction, enhancing the overall speed and user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upcoming versions of Copilot will bring exciting additions, including new commands designed for various personas and use cases. These enhancements will accompany powerful extensions and plugins, enabling users to automate tasks and streamline processes within the protocol and dApp environments.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Polygon Introduces AI Assistant Chatbot Powered By ChatGPT","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"polygon-introduces-ai-assistant-chatbot-powered-by-chatgpt","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-23 06:31:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-22 20:31:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12163","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12144,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-22 06:54:01","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-21 20:54:01","post_content":"\n

Fortnite introduces <\/a>\"Airphoria,\" a new Nike-themed adventure within the game's Creative Mode. It offers players an exciting opportunity to embark on the ultimate 'sneaker hunt.' The event will be live until June 27, and players can earn free in-game sneakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the complimentary item is not an NFT, and this collaboration does not include any NFTs for apparel or accessories. Despite the association with the Nike brand, there are no plans for tokenized digital items in Fortnite. Epic Games decided to maintain its traditional approach to digital goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/Nike\/status\/1671186972705017858?s=20\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"The connection between Fortnite and Nike doesn't integrate any NFTs or digital item trading marketplaces into the Fortnite world or its economy,\"<\/em> an Epic Games spokesperson told Decrypt. \"Items recognized across these two ecosystems are purely for the purchaser's enjoyment and aren't tradeable, transferrable, or sellable, as has always been the case in the Fortnite economy.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No In-Game NFTs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nike's partnership with Fortnite does not introduce NFTs to the game but establishes a connection. This collaboration hints at Nike's potential use. Swoosh is a platform for gaming and metaverse digital items. However, Nike's specific intentions in this regard are uncertain. It is worth noting that Swoosh is centered around user IDs based on NFTs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan, a widely used Ethereum block explorer, is integrating ChatGPT into the Code Reader. The tool is used for comprehensive analysis of the Ethereum blockchain. Last Monday, the company announced the latest tool, Code Reader, which is currently in beta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The Code Reader is a tool that leverages the power of AI to provide users with the ability to retrieve and interpret the source code of a specific contract address,\" <\/em>Etherscan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Etherscan's decision to integrate ChatGPT, it is clear that this AI technology is gaining traction within the blockchain ecosystem. By leveraging the power of ChatGPT, Etherscan aims to offer its user an enhanced experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan has joined the hype as AI started to influence blockchain companies. Alchemy unveiled <\/a>AlchemyAI last week, which utilizes ChatGPT technology for blockchain exploration. Last April, Solana Labs launched <\/a>its ChatGPT plugin, empowering developers with an interactive AI experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan Warns the Public<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan cautions users that the ChatGPT tool is meant for informational purposes only and advises against blindly accepting its responses. They emphasize the importance of independent verification and not relying on the tool for evidence or bug bounties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factors to Consider When Using \"Copilot\"<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To prevent spamming and excessive computation load, Polygon Copilot limits its responses. However, users can earn additional credits by \"performing social tasks such as providing feedback or contributing to improving the offering.\"<\/em> Lucky users may also receive secret codes from partners, which can be redeemed for extra credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to answering queries, Copilot offers analytics and insights for NFTs, DeFi, and wallets through the \"\/stats\" command. It also facilitates the minting of zkEVM and PoS NFTs directly within the interface. With the inclusion of convenient hotkeys, Copilot enables faster and more efficient interaction, enhancing the overall speed and user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upcoming versions of Copilot will bring exciting additions, including new commands designed for various personas and use cases. These enhancements will accompany powerful extensions and plugins, enabling users to automate tasks and streamline processes within the protocol and dApp environments.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Polygon Introduces AI Assistant Chatbot Powered By ChatGPT","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"polygon-introduces-ai-assistant-chatbot-powered-by-chatgpt","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-23 06:31:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-22 20:31:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12163","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12144,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-22 06:54:01","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-21 20:54:01","post_content":"\n

Fortnite introduces <\/a>\"Airphoria,\" a new Nike-themed adventure within the game's Creative Mode. It offers players an exciting opportunity to embark on the ultimate 'sneaker hunt.' The event will be live until June 27, and players can earn free in-game sneakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the complimentary item is not an NFT, and this collaboration does not include any NFTs for apparel or accessories.

Etherscan, a widely used Ethereum block explorer, is integrating ChatGPT into the Code Reader. The tool is used for comprehensive analysis of the Ethereum blockchain. Last Monday, the company announced the latest tool, Code Reader, which is currently in beta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The Code Reader is a tool that leverages the power of AI to provide users with the ability to retrieve and interpret the source code of a specific contract address,\" <\/em>Etherscan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Etherscan's decision to integrate ChatGPT, it is clear that this AI technology is gaining traction within the blockchain ecosystem. By leveraging the power of ChatGPT, Etherscan aims to offer its user an enhanced experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 15,000 individuals from 15 countries were polled in the survey between April 26 and May 18. The survey comprised 32 questions on Web3, cryptocurrencies, and participants' opinions on the internet landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report, 92% of respondents globally said they have heard of crypto. Nigeria, South Korea, and South Africa are among the countries that lead in awareness. Overall, 50% of respondents stated that they have heard about crypto and understand them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the contrary, Web3 awareness ranked as the \"least-known\" concept against Metaverse and NFT. Only 24% of the respondents globally are aware of the idea. At the same time, Metaverse and NFT raked 36% and 34%, respectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Web3?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the latest iteration of the internet, Web3 is still in the building process. So there is no single and established definition of it yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In emerging technologies, Web3 refers to the next generation of the internet, characterized by decentralization, blockchain technology, and increased user control over data and digital assets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It aims to redefine how we interact and transact online, enabling peer-to-peer interactions, intelligent contracts, and decentralized applications (dApps). Web3 is envisioned as a more open, transparent, and user-centric internet that empowers individuals and removes the need for intermediaries in various online activities.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Survey Reveals Awareness of Crypto And NFTs, But Limited Knowledge About Web3","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"survey-reveals-awareness-of-crypto-and-nfts-but-limited-knowledge-about-web3","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-29 06:44:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-28 20:44:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12244","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12176,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-24 17:08:34","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-24 07:08:34","post_content":"\n

The Singapore-based cybersecurity firm Group-IB reveals that hackers have leaked ChatGPT credentials on the dark web. The report indicates that the compromise has affected over 100,000 accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group-IB reported the theft using the Racoon Infostealer malware, which victims unknowingly downloaded through phishing emails. The report also wrote that the theft began in June 2022 and peaked in May 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Group-IB's report, the Asia-Pacific region accounted for most of the stolen ChatGPT credentials, with approximately 41,000 compromised accounts. India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Bangladesh are among the countries. Group-IB advises users to update passwords and enable two-factor authentication for enhanced security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Many enterprises are integrating ChatGPT into their operational flow.\"<\/em> Dimitry Shestakov, Head of Threat Intelligence at Group-IB, said in the press release. \"Employees enter classified correspondences or use the bot to optimize proprietary code. Given that ChatGPT's standard configuration retains all conversations, this could inadvertently offer a trove of sensitive intelligence to threat actors if they obtain account credentials.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mitigation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To protect compromised ChatGPT accounts, Group-IB advises users to update their passwords regularly and enable two-factor authentication (2FA). Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide a verification code, usually sent to their mobile devices when accessing their ChatGPT accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting dark web communities helps organizations identify potential leaks or sales of sensitive data. Real-time Threat Intelligence allows them to take proactive actions, notify affected individuals, and strengthen their cybersecurity defences. By leveraging real-time threat intelligence, companies can better understand threats, protect their assets, and make informed decisions to enhance cybersecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouGov is an international polling company specializing in market research and data analytics. On the other hand, Consensys is a software company focused on Ethereum blockchain development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 15,000 individuals from 15 countries were polled in the survey between April 26 and May 18. The survey comprised 32 questions on Web3, cryptocurrencies, and participants' opinions on the internet landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report, 92% of respondents globally said they have heard of crypto. Nigeria, South Korea, and South Africa are among the countries that lead in awareness. Overall, 50% of respondents stated that they have heard about crypto and understand them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the contrary, Web3 awareness ranked as the \"least-known\" concept against Metaverse and NFT. Only 24% of the respondents globally are aware of the idea. At the same time, Metaverse and NFT raked 36% and 34%, respectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Web3?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the latest iteration of the internet, Web3 is still in the building process. So there is no single and established definition of it yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In emerging technologies, Web3 refers to the next generation of the internet, characterized by decentralization, blockchain technology, and increased user control over data and digital assets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It aims to redefine how we interact and transact online, enabling peer-to-peer interactions, intelligent contracts, and decentralized applications (dApps). Web3 is envisioned as a more open, transparent, and user-centric internet that empowers individuals and removes the need for intermediaries in various online activities.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Survey Reveals Awareness of Crypto And NFTs, But Limited Knowledge About Web3","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"survey-reveals-awareness-of-crypto-and-nfts-but-limited-knowledge-about-web3","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-29 06:44:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-28 20:44:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12244","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12176,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-24 17:08:34","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-24 07:08:34","post_content":"\n

The Singapore-based cybersecurity firm Group-IB reveals that hackers have leaked ChatGPT credentials on the dark web. The report indicates that the compromise has affected over 100,000 accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group-IB reported the theft using the Racoon Infostealer malware, which victims unknowingly downloaded through phishing emails. The report also wrote that the theft began in June 2022 and peaked in May 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Group-IB's report, the Asia-Pacific region accounted for most of the stolen ChatGPT credentials, with approximately 41,000 compromised accounts. India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Bangladesh are among the countries. Group-IB advises users to update passwords and enable two-factor authentication for enhanced security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Many enterprises are integrating ChatGPT into their operational flow.\"<\/em> Dimitry Shestakov, Head of Threat Intelligence at Group-IB, said in the press release. \"Employees enter classified correspondences or use the bot to optimize proprietary code. Given that ChatGPT's standard configuration retains all conversations, this could inadvertently offer a trove of sensitive intelligence to threat actors if they obtain account credentials.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mitigation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To protect compromised ChatGPT accounts, Group-IB advises users to update their passwords regularly and enable two-factor authentication (2FA). Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide a verification code, usually sent to their mobile devices when accessing their ChatGPT accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting dark web communities helps organizations identify potential leaks or sales of sensitive data. Real-time Threat Intelligence allows them to take proactive actions, notify affected individuals, and strengthen their cybersecurity defences. By leveraging real-time threat intelligence, companies can better understand threats, protect their assets, and make informed decisions to enhance cybersecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Wednesday, Polygon announced the launch<\/a> of 'Copilot,' a ChatGPT-powered guide assistant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Whether you're a serious builder, an enthusiast, or a curious user, Polygon Copilot is an AI-powered interface that unlocks a world of interactions simply by 'asking.\"<\/em> Polygon added, \"Its conversational UI represents a leap in the quality of user experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In partnership with LayerE, Polygon has developed Copilot, an application incorporating OpenAI's GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 technologies. Copilot is designed to offer users valuable insights, analytics, and guidance by leveraging its training on Polygon protocol documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"To ensure transparency and accuracy, [Copilot] shares the sources of the information included in its responses.\"<\/em> Polygon wrote in its post. \"This empowers users to verify the information and delve deeper into the topic. Additionally, Polygon Copilot goes beyond just answering questions by suggesting related inquiries, fostering an interactive and engaging experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factors to Consider When Using \"Copilot\"<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To prevent spamming and excessive computation load, Polygon Copilot limits its responses. However, users can earn additional credits by \"performing social tasks such as providing feedback or contributing to improving the offering.\"<\/em> Lucky users may also receive secret codes from partners, which can be redeemed for extra credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to answering queries, Copilot offers analytics and insights for NFTs, DeFi, and wallets through the \"\/stats\" command. It also facilitates the minting of zkEVM and PoS NFTs directly within the interface. With the inclusion of convenient hotkeys, Copilot enables faster and more efficient interaction, enhancing the overall speed and user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upcoming versions of Copilot will bring exciting additions, including new commands designed for various personas and use cases. These enhancements will accompany powerful extensions and plugins, enabling users to automate tasks and streamline processes within the protocol and dApp environments.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Polygon Introduces AI Assistant Chatbot Powered By ChatGPT","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"polygon-introduces-ai-assistant-chatbot-powered-by-chatgpt","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-23 06:31:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-22 20:31:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12163","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12144,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-22 06:54:01","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-21 20:54:01","post_content":"\n

Fortnite introduces <\/a>\"Airphoria,\" a new Nike-themed adventure within the game's Creative Mode. It offers players an exciting opportunity to embark on the ultimate 'sneaker hunt.' The event will be live until June 27, and players can earn free in-game sneakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the complimentary item is not an NFT, and this collaboration does not include any NFTs for apparel or accessories. Despite the association with the Nike brand, there are no plans for tokenized digital items in Fortnite. Epic Games decided to maintain its traditional approach to digital goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The connection between Fortnite and Nike doesn't integrate any NFTs or digital item trading marketplaces into the Fortnite world or its economy,\"<\/em> an Epic Games spokesperson told Decrypt. \"Items recognized across these two ecosystems are purely for the purchaser's enjoyment and aren't tradeable, transferrable, or sellable, as has always been the case in the Fortnite economy.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No In-Game NFTs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nike's partnership with Fortnite does not introduce NFTs to the game but establishes a connection. This collaboration hints at Nike's potential use. Swoosh is a platform for gaming and metaverse digital items. However, Nike's specific intentions in this regard are uncertain. It is worth noting that Swoosh is centered around user IDs based on NFTs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan, a widely used Ethereum block explorer, is integrating ChatGPT into the Code Reader. The tool is used for comprehensive analysis of the Ethereum blockchain. Last Monday, the company announced the latest tool, Code Reader, which is currently in beta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The Code Reader is a tool that leverages the power of AI to provide users with the ability to retrieve and interpret the source code of a specific contract address,\" <\/em>Etherscan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Etherscan's decision to integrate ChatGPT, it is clear that this AI technology is gaining traction within the blockchain ecosystem. By leveraging the power of ChatGPT, Etherscan aims to offer its user an enhanced experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan has joined the hype as AI started to influence blockchain companies. Alchemy unveiled <\/a>AlchemyAI last week, which utilizes ChatGPT technology for blockchain exploration. Last April, Solana Labs launched <\/a>its ChatGPT plugin, empowering developers with an interactive AI experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan Warns the Public<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan cautions users that the ChatGPT tool is meant for informational purposes only and advises against blindly accepting its responses. They emphasize the importance of independent verification and not relying on the tool for evidence or bug bounties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This disclaimer is significant due to the prevalent issue of AI chatbots generating false information. AI hallucinations occur when AI systems produce inaccurate results that lack real-world data support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the United Nations has raised <\/a>concerns about using AI-generated deep fakes to propagate hate and misinformation on social media. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Etherscan Introduces ChatGPT-Powered Tool","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"etherscan-introduces-chatgpt-powered-tool","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-21 15:34:52","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-21 05:34:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12124","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12051,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-18 22:06:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-18 12:06:55","post_content":"\n

Alchemy, a prominent developer of blockchain platforms, revealed <\/a>its newest venture on Wednesday. AlchemyAI, a GPT-4 plugin, is explicitly designed for blockchain analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an interview with Decrypt, Elan Halpern, Product Manager at Alchemy, he explained<\/a> their intention. He said it was to \"specifically cater to and train a model using ChatGPT that is Web3 development-specific\". <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This is real-time querying on the blockchain, like a developer would, using the API and writing a code script...This allows you to do that through natural language and normal sentences,\" <\/em>Halpern added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although no specific date was mentioned for the public release of the AlchemyAI, Halpern mentioned that it comprises the ChatGPT plugin and a programming assistant tool called Chat Web3, designed to support developers in their coding tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI And Blockchain <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

OpenAI's ChatGPT is causing a stir in the ever-changing landscape of AI tools, inspiring Web3 companies to harness its power for exploring the blockchain. AI has quickly emerged as a crucial component in various digital ventures. Organizations have embraced chatbots powered by ChatGPT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Floating Point Group (FPG) has halted <\/a>trading, deposits, and withdrawals due to a \"cyber security incident\"<\/em> on Sunday. FPG is a prime crypto brokerage that manages over $50 billion worth of assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FPG immediately worked with third-party forensics experts and law enforcement upon discovering the incident. A spokesperson from FPG acknowledged the incident and stated that the firm had secured all wallets, locked third-party accounts, and is investigating the incident's extent and details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the spokesperson, FPG's account segregation helped minimize the attack's impact. The spokesperson mentioned that the exact loss is estimated to be between $15 million and $20 million in cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are working with the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, our regulators, and Chainalysis to understand how this occurred and to recover assets,\"<\/em> the spokesperson said. \"As this is an ongoing investigation with law enforcement, we cannot share specifics now.

Etherscan, a widely used Ethereum block explorer, is integrating ChatGPT into the Code Reader. The tool is used for comprehensive analysis of the Ethereum blockchain. Last Monday, the company announced the latest tool, Code Reader, which is currently in beta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The Code Reader is a tool that leverages the power of AI to provide users with the ability to retrieve and interpret the source code of a specific contract address,\" <\/em>Etherscan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Etherscan's decision to integrate ChatGPT, it is clear that this AI technology is gaining traction within the blockchain ecosystem. By leveraging the power of ChatGPT, Etherscan aims to offer its user an enhanced experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan has joined the hype as AI started to influence blockchain companies. Alchemy unveiled <\/a>AlchemyAI last week, which utilizes ChatGPT technology for blockchain exploration. Last April, Solana Labs launched <\/a>its ChatGPT plugin, empowering developers with an interactive AI experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan Warns the Public<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan cautions users that the ChatGPT tool is meant for informational purposes only and advises against blindly accepting its responses. They emphasize the importance of independent verification and not relying on the tool for evidence or bug bounties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This disclaimer is significant due to the prevalent issue of AI chatbots generating false information. AI hallucinations occur when AI systems produce inaccurate results that lack real-world data support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouGov and Consensys conducted <\/a>a survey asking people around the world about emerging technology. This technology includes cryptocurrency, NFT, and Web3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouGov is an international polling company specializing in market research and data analytics. On the other hand, Consensys is a software company focused on Ethereum blockchain development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 15,000 individuals from 15 countries were polled in the survey between April 26 and May 18. The survey comprised 32 questions on Web3, cryptocurrencies, and participants' opinions on the internet landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report, 92% of respondents globally said they have heard of crypto. Nigeria, South Korea, and South Africa are among the countries that lead in awareness. Overall, 50% of respondents stated that they have heard about crypto and understand them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the contrary, Web3 awareness ranked as the \"least-known\" concept against Metaverse and NFT. Only 24% of the respondents globally are aware of the idea. At the same time, Metaverse and NFT raked 36% and 34%, respectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Web3?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the latest iteration of the internet, Web3 is still in the building process. So there is no single and established definition of it yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In emerging technologies, Web3 refers to the next generation of the internet, characterized by decentralization, blockchain technology, and increased user control over data and digital assets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It aims to redefine how we interact and transact online, enabling peer-to-peer interactions, intelligent contracts, and decentralized applications (dApps). Web3 is envisioned as a more open, transparent, and user-centric internet that empowers individuals and removes the need for intermediaries in various online activities.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Survey Reveals Awareness of Crypto And NFTs, But Limited Knowledge About Web3","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"survey-reveals-awareness-of-crypto-and-nfts-but-limited-knowledge-about-web3","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-29 06:44:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-28 20:44:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12244","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12176,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-24 17:08:34","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-24 07:08:34","post_content":"\n

The Singapore-based cybersecurity firm Group-IB reveals that hackers have leaked ChatGPT credentials on the dark web. The report indicates that the compromise has affected over 100,000 accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group-IB reported the theft using the Racoon Infostealer malware, which victims unknowingly downloaded through phishing emails. The report also wrote that the theft began in June 2022 and peaked in May 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Group-IB's report, the Asia-Pacific region accounted for most of the stolen ChatGPT credentials, with approximately 41,000 compromised accounts. India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Bangladesh are among the countries. Group-IB advises users to update passwords and enable two-factor authentication for enhanced security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Many enterprises are integrating ChatGPT into their operational flow.\"<\/em> Dimitry Shestakov, Head of Threat Intelligence at Group-IB, said in the press release. \"Employees enter classified correspondences or use the bot to optimize proprietary code. Given that ChatGPT's standard configuration retains all conversations, this could inadvertently offer a trove of sensitive intelligence to threat actors if they obtain account credentials.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mitigation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To protect compromised ChatGPT accounts, Group-IB advises users to update their passwords regularly and enable two-factor authentication (2FA). Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide a verification code, usually sent to their mobile devices when accessing their ChatGPT accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting dark web communities helps organizations identify potential leaks or sales of sensitive data. Real-time Threat Intelligence allows them to take proactive actions, notify affected individuals, and strengthen their cybersecurity defences. By leveraging real-time threat intelligence, companies can better understand threats, protect their assets, and make informed decisions to enhance cybersecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Wednesday, Polygon announced the launch<\/a> of 'Copilot,' a ChatGPT-powered guide assistant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Whether you're a serious builder, an enthusiast, or a curious user, Polygon Copilot is an AI-powered interface that unlocks a world of interactions simply by 'asking.\"<\/em> Polygon added, \"Its conversational UI represents a leap in the quality of user experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In partnership with LayerE, Polygon has developed Copilot, an application incorporating OpenAI's GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 technologies. Copilot is designed to offer users valuable insights, analytics, and guidance by leveraging its training on Polygon protocol documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"To ensure transparency and accuracy, [Copilot] shares the sources of the information included in its responses.\"<\/em> Polygon wrote in its post. \"This empowers users to verify the information and delve deeper into the topic. Additionally, Polygon Copilot goes beyond just answering questions by suggesting related inquiries, fostering an interactive and engaging experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factors to Consider When Using \"Copilot\"<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To prevent spamming and excessive computation load, Polygon Copilot limits its responses. However, users can earn additional credits by \"performing social tasks such as providing feedback or contributing to improving the offering.\"<\/em> Lucky users may also receive secret codes from partners, which can be redeemed for extra credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to answering queries, Copilot offers analytics and insights for NFTs, DeFi, and wallets through the \"\/stats\" command. It also facilitates the minting of zkEVM and PoS NFTs directly within the interface. With the inclusion of convenient hotkeys, Copilot enables faster and more efficient interaction, enhancing the overall speed and user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upcoming versions of Copilot will bring exciting additions, including new commands designed for various personas and use cases. These enhancements will accompany powerful extensions and plugins, enabling users to automate tasks and streamline processes within the protocol and dApp environments.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Polygon Introduces AI Assistant Chatbot Powered By ChatGPT","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"polygon-introduces-ai-assistant-chatbot-powered-by-chatgpt","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-23 06:31:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-22 20:31:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12163","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12144,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-22 06:54:01","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-21 20:54:01","post_content":"\n

Fortnite introduces <\/a>\"Airphoria,\" a new Nike-themed adventure within the game's Creative Mode. It offers players an exciting opportunity to embark on the ultimate 'sneaker hunt.' The event will be live until June 27, and players can earn free in-game sneakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the complimentary item is not an NFT, and this collaboration does not include any NFTs for apparel or accessories. Despite the association with the Nike brand, there are no plans for tokenized digital items in Fortnite. Epic Games decided to maintain its traditional approach to digital goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The connection between Fortnite and Nike doesn't integrate any NFTs or digital item trading marketplaces into the Fortnite world or its economy,\"<\/em> an Epic Games spokesperson told Decrypt. \"Items recognized across these two ecosystems are purely for the purchaser's enjoyment and aren't tradeable, transferrable, or sellable, as has always been the case in the Fortnite economy.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No In-Game NFTs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nike's partnership with Fortnite does not introduce NFTs to the game but establishes a connection. This collaboration hints at Nike's potential use. Swoosh is a platform for gaming and metaverse digital items. However, Nike's specific intentions in this regard are uncertain. It is worth noting that Swoosh is centered around user IDs based on NFTs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades around $30,000 after an attempt to break the $32,500 resistance. This pivotal level is essential to the continuation of the uptrend. Breakout from this resistance could lead to a massive uptrend rally reaching $40,000 to $42,000. If unsuccessful, Bitcoin can be seen in a prolonged sideways market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 15,000 individuals from 15 countries were polled in the survey between April 26 and May 18. The survey comprised 32 questions on Web3, cryptocurrencies, and participants' opinions on the internet landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report, 92% of respondents globally said they have heard of crypto. Nigeria, South Korea, and South Africa are among the countries that lead in awareness. Overall, 50% of respondents stated that they have heard about crypto and understand them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the contrary, Web3 awareness ranked as the \"least-known\" concept against Metaverse and NFT. Only 24% of the respondents globally are aware of the idea. At the same time, Metaverse and NFT raked 36% and 34%, respectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Web3?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the latest iteration of the internet, Web3 is still in the building process. So there is no single and established definition of it yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In emerging technologies, Web3 refers to the next generation of the internet, characterized by decentralization, blockchain technology, and increased user control over data and digital assets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It aims to redefine how we interact and transact online, enabling peer-to-peer interactions, intelligent contracts, and decentralized applications (dApps). Web3 is envisioned as a more open, transparent, and user-centric internet that empowers individuals and removes the need for intermediaries in various online activities.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Survey Reveals Awareness of Crypto And NFTs, But Limited Knowledge About Web3","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"survey-reveals-awareness-of-crypto-and-nfts-but-limited-knowledge-about-web3","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-29 06:44:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-28 20:44:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12244","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12176,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-24 17:08:34","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-24 07:08:34","post_content":"\n

The Singapore-based cybersecurity firm Group-IB reveals that hackers have leaked ChatGPT credentials on the dark web. The report indicates that the compromise has affected over 100,000 accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group-IB reported the theft using the Racoon Infostealer malware, which victims unknowingly downloaded through phishing emails. The report also wrote that the theft began in June 2022 and peaked in May 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Group-IB's report, the Asia-Pacific region accounted for most of the stolen ChatGPT credentials, with approximately 41,000 compromised accounts. India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Bangladesh are among the countries. Group-IB advises users to update passwords and enable two-factor authentication for enhanced security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Many enterprises are integrating ChatGPT into their operational flow.\"<\/em> Dimitry Shestakov, Head of Threat Intelligence at Group-IB, said in the press release. \"Employees enter classified correspondences or use the bot to optimize proprietary code. Given that ChatGPT's standard configuration retains all conversations, this could inadvertently offer a trove of sensitive intelligence to threat actors if they obtain account credentials.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mitigation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To protect compromised ChatGPT accounts, Group-IB advises users to update their passwords regularly and enable two-factor authentication (2FA). Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide a verification code, usually sent to their mobile devices when accessing their ChatGPT accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting dark web communities helps organizations identify potential leaks or sales of sensitive data. Real-time Threat Intelligence allows them to take proactive actions, notify affected individuals, and strengthen their cybersecurity defences. By leveraging real-time threat intelligence, companies can better understand threats, protect their assets, and make informed decisions to enhance cybersecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Whether you're a serious builder, an enthusiast, or a curious user, Polygon Copilot is an AI-powered interface that unlocks a world of interactions simply by 'asking.\"<\/em> Polygon added, \"Its conversational UI represents a leap in the quality of user experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In partnership with LayerE, Polygon has developed Copilot, an application incorporating OpenAI's GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 technologies. Copilot is designed to offer users valuable insights, analytics, and guidance by leveraging its training on Polygon protocol documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"To ensure transparency and accuracy, [Copilot] shares the sources of the information included in its responses.\"<\/em> Polygon wrote in its post. \"This empowers users to verify the information and delve deeper into the topic. Additionally, Polygon Copilot goes beyond just answering questions by suggesting related inquiries, fostering an interactive and engaging experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factors to Consider When Using \"Copilot\"<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To prevent spamming and excessive computation load, Polygon Copilot limits its responses. However, users can earn additional credits by \"performing social tasks such as providing feedback or contributing to improving the offering.\"<\/em> Lucky users may also receive secret codes from partners, which can be redeemed for extra credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to answering queries, Copilot offers analytics and insights for NFTs, DeFi, and wallets through the \"\/stats\" command.

Fortnite introduces <\/a>\"Airphoria,\" a new Nike-themed adventure within the game's Creative Mode. It offers players an exciting opportunity to embark on the ultimate 'sneaker hunt.' The event will be live until June 27, and players can earn free in-game sneakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the complimentary item is not an NFT, and this collaboration does not include any NFTs for apparel or accessories. Despite the association with the Nike brand, there are no plans for tokenized digital items in Fortnite. Epic Games decided to maintain its traditional approach to digital goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nike's partnership with Fortnite does not introduce NFTs to the game but establishes a connection. This collaboration hints at Nike's potential use.

It is worth noting that Swoosh is centered around user IDs based on NFTs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan, a widely used Ethereum block explorer, is integrating ChatGPT into the Code Reader. The tool is used for comprehensive analysis of the Ethereum blockchain. Last Monday, the company announced the latest tool, Code Reader, which is currently in beta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The Code Reader is a tool that leverages the power of AI to provide users with the ability to retrieve and interpret the source code of a specific contract address,\" <\/em>Etherscan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Etherscan's decision to integrate ChatGPT, it is clear that this AI technology is gaining traction within the blockchain ecosystem. By leveraging the power of ChatGPT, Etherscan aims to offer its user an enhanced experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan has joined the hype as AI started to influence blockchain companies. Alchemy unveiled <\/a>AlchemyAI last week, which utilizes ChatGPT technology for blockchain exploration. Last April, Solana Labs launched <\/a>its ChatGPT plugin, empowering developers with an interactive AI experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan Warns the Public<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan cautions users that the ChatGPT tool is meant for informational purposes only and advises against blindly accepting its responses. They emphasize the importance of independent verification and not relying on the tool for evidence or bug bounties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This disclaimer is significant due to the prevalent issue of AI chatbots generating false information. AI hallucinations occur when AI systems produce inaccurate results that lack real-world data support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the United Nations has raised <\/a>concerns about using AI-generated deep fakes to propagate hate and misinformation on social media. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Etherscan Introduces ChatGPT-Powered Tool","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"etherscan-introduces-chatgpt-powered-tool","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-21 15:34:52","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-21 05:34:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12124","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12051,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-18 22:06:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-18 12:06:55","post_content":"\n

Alchemy, a prominent developer of blockchain platforms, revealed <\/a>its newest venture on Wednesday. AlchemyAI, a GPT-4 plugin, is explicitly designed for blockchain analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an interview with Decrypt, Elan Halpern, Product Manager at Alchemy, he explained<\/a> their intention. He said it was to \"specifically cater to and train a model using ChatGPT that is Web3 development-specific\". <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This is real-time querying on the blockchain, like a developer would, using the API and writing a code script...This allows you to do that through natural language and normal sentences,\" <\/em>Halpern added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although no specific date was mentioned for the public release of the AlchemyAI, Halpern mentioned that it comprises the ChatGPT plugin and a programming assistant tool called Chat Web3, designed to support developers in their coding tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI And Blockchain <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

OpenAI's ChatGPT is causing a stir in the ever-changing landscape of AI tools, inspiring Web3 companies to harness its power for exploring the blockchain. AI has quickly emerged as a crucial component in various digital ventures. Organizations have embraced chatbots powered by ChatGPT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, blockchain companies are also integrating AI to improve user experiences.

Floating Point Group (FPG) has halted <\/a>trading, deposits, and withdrawals due to a \"cyber security incident\"<\/em> on Sunday. FPG is a prime crypto brokerage that manages over $50 billion worth of assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FPG immediately worked with third-party forensics experts and law enforcement upon discovering the incident. A spokesperson from FPG acknowledged the incident and stated that the firm had secured all wallets, locked third-party accounts, and is investigating the incident's extent and details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the spokesperson, FPG's account segregation helped minimize the attack's impact. The spokesperson mentioned that the exact loss is estimated to be between $15 million and $20 million in cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are working with the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, our regulators, and Chainalysis to understand how this occurred and to recover assets,\"<\/em> the spokesperson said. \"As this is an ongoing investigation with law enforcement, we cannot share specifics now. We will provide updates as they become available.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

More to FPG<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

FPG, established in 2018 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is a platform that serves as a prime crypto brokerage and agency trading desk for asset managers. It offers liquidity access across various markets. In December, FPG stated that its blockchain foundation customers make up 5% of the total treasury management market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company has received investment from Coinbase Ventures, Anthony Scaramucci of SkyBridge Capital, and Naval Ravikant, the founder of AngelList. In total, FPG has raised $12 million in funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bitcoin Technical Analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades around $30,000 after an attempt to break the $32,500 resistance. This pivotal level is essential to the continuation of the uptrend. Breakout from this resistance could lead to a massive uptrend rally reaching $40,000 to $42,000. If unsuccessful, Bitcoin can be seen in a prolonged sideways market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bitcoin Technical Analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades around $30,000 after an attempt to break the $32,500 resistance. This pivotal level is essential to the continuation of the uptrend. Breakout from this resistance could lead to a massive uptrend rally reaching $40,000 to $42,000. If unsuccessful, Bitcoin can be seen in a prolonged sideways market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouGov and Consensys conducted <\/a>a survey asking people around the world about emerging technology. This technology includes cryptocurrency, NFT, and Web3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouGov is an international polling company specializing in market research and data analytics. On the other hand, Consensys is a software company focused on Ethereum blockchain development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 15,000 individuals from 15 countries were polled in the survey between April 26 and May 18. The survey comprised 32 questions on Web3, cryptocurrencies, and participants' opinions on the internet landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report, 92% of respondents globally said they have heard of crypto. Nigeria, South Korea, and South Africa are among the countries that lead in awareness. Overall, 50% of respondents stated that they have heard about crypto and understand them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the contrary, Web3 awareness ranked as the \"least-known\" concept against Metaverse and NFT. Only 24% of the respondents globally are aware of the idea. At the same time, Metaverse and NFT raked 36% and 34%, respectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Web3?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the latest iteration of the internet, Web3 is still in the building process. So there is no single and established definition of it yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In emerging technologies, Web3 refers to the next generation of the internet, characterized by decentralization, blockchain technology, and increased user control over data and digital assets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It aims to redefine how we interact and transact online, enabling peer-to-peer interactions, intelligent contracts, and decentralized applications (dApps). Web3 is envisioned as a more open, transparent, and user-centric internet that empowers individuals and removes the need for intermediaries in various online activities.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Survey Reveals Awareness of Crypto And NFTs, But Limited Knowledge About Web3","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"survey-reveals-awareness-of-crypto-and-nfts-but-limited-knowledge-about-web3","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-29 06:44:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-28 20:44:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12244","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12176,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-24 17:08:34","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-24 07:08:34","post_content":"\n

The Singapore-based cybersecurity firm Group-IB reveals that hackers have leaked ChatGPT credentials on the dark web. The report indicates that the compromise has affected over 100,000 accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group-IB reported the theft using the Racoon Infostealer malware, which victims unknowingly downloaded through phishing emails. The report also wrote that the theft began in June 2022 and peaked in May 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Group-IB's report, the Asia-Pacific region accounted for most of the stolen ChatGPT credentials, with approximately 41,000 compromised accounts. India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Bangladesh are among the countries. Group-IB advises users to update passwords and enable two-factor authentication for enhanced security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Many enterprises are integrating ChatGPT into their operational flow.\"<\/em> Dimitry Shestakov, Head of Threat Intelligence at Group-IB, said in the press release. \"Employees enter classified correspondences or use the bot to optimize proprietary code. Given that ChatGPT's standard configuration retains all conversations, this could inadvertently offer a trove of sensitive intelligence to threat actors if they obtain account credentials.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mitigation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To protect compromised ChatGPT accounts, Group-IB advises users to update their passwords regularly and enable two-factor authentication (2FA). Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide a verification code, usually sent to their mobile devices when accessing their ChatGPT accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting dark web communities helps organizations identify potential leaks or sales of sensitive data. Real-time Threat Intelligence allows them to take proactive actions, notify affected individuals, and strengthen their cybersecurity defences. By leveraging real-time threat intelligence, companies can better understand threats, protect their assets, and make informed decisions to enhance cybersecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Wednesday, Polygon announced the launch<\/a> of 'Copilot,' a ChatGPT-powered guide assistant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Whether you're a serious builder, an enthusiast, or a curious user, Polygon Copilot is an AI-powered interface that unlocks a world of interactions simply by 'asking.\"<\/em> Polygon added, \"Its conversational UI represents a leap in the quality of user experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In partnership with LayerE, Polygon has developed Copilot, an application incorporating OpenAI's GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 technologies. Copilot is designed to offer users valuable insights, analytics, and guidance by leveraging its training on Polygon protocol documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"To ensure transparency and accuracy, [Copilot] shares the sources of the information included in its responses.\"<\/em> Polygon wrote in its post. \"This empowers users to verify the information and delve deeper into the topic. Additionally, Polygon Copilot goes beyond just answering questions by suggesting related inquiries, fostering an interactive and engaging experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factors to Consider When Using \"Copilot\"<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To prevent spamming and excessive computation load, Polygon Copilot limits its responses. However, users can earn additional credits by \"performing social tasks such as providing feedback or contributing to improving the offering.\"<\/em> Lucky users may also receive secret codes from partners, which can be redeemed for extra credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to answering queries, Copilot offers analytics and insights for NFTs, DeFi, and wallets through the \"\/stats\" command. It also facilitates the minting of zkEVM and PoS NFTs directly within the interface. With the inclusion of convenient hotkeys, Copilot enables faster and more efficient interaction, enhancing the overall speed and user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upcoming versions of Copilot will bring exciting additions, including new commands designed for various personas and use cases. These enhancements will accompany powerful extensions and plugins, enabling users to automate tasks and streamline processes within the protocol and dApp environments.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Polygon Introduces AI Assistant Chatbot Powered By ChatGPT","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"polygon-introduces-ai-assistant-chatbot-powered-by-chatgpt","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-23 06:31:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-22 20:31:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12163","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12144,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-22 06:54:01","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-21 20:54:01","post_content":"\n

Fortnite introduces <\/a>\"Airphoria,\" a new Nike-themed adventure within the game's Creative Mode. It offers players an exciting opportunity to embark on the ultimate 'sneaker hunt.' The event will be live until June 27, and players can earn free in-game sneakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the complimentary item is not an NFT, and this collaboration does not include any NFTs for apparel or accessories. Despite the association with the Nike brand, there are no plans for tokenized digital items in Fortnite. Epic Games decided to maintain its traditional approach to digital goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The connection between Fortnite and Nike doesn't integrate any NFTs or digital item trading marketplaces into the Fortnite world or its economy,\"<\/em> an Epic Games spokesperson told Decrypt. \"Items recognized across these two ecosystems are purely for the purchaser's enjoyment and aren't tradeable, transferrable, or sellable, as has always been the case in the Fortnite economy.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No In-Game NFTs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nike's partnership with Fortnite does not introduce NFTs to the game but establishes a connection. This collaboration hints at Nike's potential use. Swoosh is a platform for gaming and metaverse digital items. However, Nike's specific intentions in this regard are uncertain. It is worth noting that Swoosh is centered around user IDs based on NFTs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouGov and Consensys conducted <\/a>a survey asking people around the world about emerging technology. This technology includes cryptocurrency, NFT, and Web3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouGov is an international polling company specializing in market research and data analytics. On the other hand, Consensys is a software company focused on Ethereum blockchain development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 15,000 individuals from 15 countries were polled in the survey between April 26 and May 18. The survey comprised 32 questions on Web3, cryptocurrencies, and participants' opinions on the internet landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report, 92% of respondents globally said they have heard of crypto. Nigeria, South Korea, and South Africa are among the countries that lead in awareness. Overall, 50% of respondents stated that they have heard about crypto and understand them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the contrary, Web3 awareness ranked as the \"least-known\" concept against Metaverse and NFT. Only 24% of the respondents globally are aware of the idea. At the same time, Metaverse and NFT raked 36% and 34%, respectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Web3?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the latest iteration of the internet, Web3 is still in the building process. So there is no single and established definition of it yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In emerging technologies, Web3 refers to the next generation of the internet, characterized by decentralization, blockchain technology, and increased user control over data and digital assets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It aims to redefine how we interact and transact online, enabling peer-to-peer interactions, intelligent contracts, and decentralized applications (dApps). Web3 is envisioned as a more open, transparent, and user-centric internet that empowers individuals and removes the need for intermediaries in various online activities.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Survey Reveals Awareness of Crypto And NFTs, But Limited Knowledge About Web3","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"survey-reveals-awareness-of-crypto-and-nfts-but-limited-knowledge-about-web3","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-29 06:44:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-28 20:44:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12244","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12176,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-24 17:08:34","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-24 07:08:34","post_content":"\n

The Singapore-based cybersecurity firm Group-IB reveals that hackers have leaked ChatGPT credentials on the dark web. The report indicates that the compromise has affected over 100,000 accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group-IB reported the theft using the Racoon Infostealer malware, which victims unknowingly downloaded through phishing emails. The report also wrote that the theft began in June 2022 and peaked in May 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Group-IB's report, the Asia-Pacific region accounted for most of the stolen ChatGPT credentials, with approximately 41,000 compromised accounts. India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Bangladesh are among the countries. Group-IB advises users to update passwords and enable two-factor authentication for enhanced security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Many enterprises are integrating ChatGPT into their operational flow.\"<\/em> Dimitry Shestakov, Head of Threat Intelligence at Group-IB, said in the press release. \"Employees enter classified correspondences or use the bot to optimize proprietary code. Given that ChatGPT's standard configuration retains all conversations, this could inadvertently offer a trove of sensitive intelligence to threat actors if they obtain account credentials.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mitigation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To protect compromised ChatGPT accounts, Group-IB advises users to update their passwords regularly and enable two-factor authentication (2FA). Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide a verification code, usually sent to their mobile devices when accessing their ChatGPT accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting dark web communities helps organizations identify potential leaks or sales of sensitive data. Real-time Threat Intelligence allows them to take proactive actions, notify affected individuals, and strengthen their cybersecurity defences. By leveraging real-time threat intelligence, companies can better understand threats, protect their assets, and make informed decisions to enhance cybersecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Wednesday, Polygon announced the launch<\/a> of 'Copilot,' a ChatGPT-powered guide assistant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Whether you're a serious builder, an enthusiast, or a curious user, Polygon Copilot is an AI-powered interface that unlocks a world of interactions simply by 'asking.\"<\/em> Polygon added, \"Its conversational UI represents a leap in the quality of user experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In partnership with LayerE, Polygon has developed Copilot, an application incorporating OpenAI's GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 technologies. Copilot is designed to offer users valuable insights, analytics, and guidance by leveraging its training on Polygon protocol documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"To ensure transparency and accuracy, [Copilot] shares the sources of the information included in its responses.\"<\/em> Polygon wrote in its post. \"This empowers users to verify the information and delve deeper into the topic. Additionally, Polygon Copilot goes beyond just answering questions by suggesting related inquiries, fostering an interactive and engaging experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factors to Consider When Using \"Copilot\"<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To prevent spamming and excessive computation load, Polygon Copilot limits its responses. However, users can earn additional credits by \"performing social tasks such as providing feedback or contributing to improving the offering.\"<\/em> Lucky users may also receive secret codes from partners, which can be redeemed for extra credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to answering queries, Copilot offers analytics and insights for NFTs, DeFi, and wallets through the \"\/stats\" command. It also facilitates the minting of zkEVM and PoS NFTs directly within the interface. With the inclusion of convenient hotkeys, Copilot enables faster and more efficient interaction, enhancing the overall speed and user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upcoming versions of Copilot will bring exciting additions, including new commands designed for various personas and use cases.

Fortnite introduces <\/a>\"Airphoria,\" a new Nike-themed adventure within the game's Creative Mode. It offers players an exciting opportunity to embark on the ultimate 'sneaker hunt.' The event will be live until June 27, and players can earn free in-game sneakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the complimentary item is not an NFT, and this collaboration does not include any NFTs for apparel or accessories. Despite the association with the Nike brand, there are no plans for tokenized digital items in Fortnite. Epic Games decided to maintain its traditional approach to digital goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/Nike\/status\/1671186972705017858?s=20\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"The connection between Fortnite and Nike doesn't integrate any NFTs or digital item trading marketplaces into the Fortnite world or its economy,\"<\/em> an Epic Games spokesperson told Decrypt. \"Items recognized across these two ecosystems are purely for the purchaser's enjoyment and aren't tradeable, transferrable, or sellable, as has always been the case in the Fortnite economy.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No In-Game NFTs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nike's partnership with Fortnite does not introduce NFTs to the game but establishes a connection. This collaboration hints at Nike's potential use. Swoosh is a platform for gaming and metaverse digital items. However, Nike's specific intentions in this regard are uncertain. It is worth noting that Swoosh is centered around user IDs based on NFTs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan, a widely used Ethereum block explorer, is integrating ChatGPT into the Code Reader. The tool is used for comprehensive analysis of the Ethereum blockchain. Last Monday, the company announced the latest tool, Code Reader, which is currently in beta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The Code Reader is a tool that leverages the power of AI to provide users with the ability to retrieve and interpret the source code of a specific contract address,\" <\/em>Etherscan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Etherscan's decision to integrate ChatGPT, it is clear that this AI technology is gaining traction within the blockchain ecosystem. By leveraging the power of ChatGPT, Etherscan aims to offer its user an enhanced experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan has joined the hype as AI started to influence blockchain companies. Alchemy unveiled <\/a>AlchemyAI last week, which utilizes ChatGPT technology for blockchain exploration. Last April, Solana Labs launched <\/a>its ChatGPT plugin, empowering developers with an interactive AI experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan Warns the Public<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan cautions users that the ChatGPT tool is meant for informational purposes only and advises against blindly accepting its responses. They emphasize the importance of independent verification and not relying on the tool for evidence or bug bounties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This disclaimer is significant due to the prevalent issue of AI chatbots generating false information. AI hallucinations occur when AI systems produce inaccurate results that lack real-world data support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the United Nations has raised <\/a>concerns about using AI-generated deep fakes to propagate hate and misinformation on social media. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Etherscan Introduces ChatGPT-Powered Tool","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"etherscan-introduces-chatgpt-powered-tool","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-21 15:34:52","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-21 05:34:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12124","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12051,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-18 22:06:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-18 12:06:55","post_content":"\n

Alchemy, a prominent developer of blockchain platforms, revealed <\/a>its newest venture on Wednesday. AlchemyAI, a GPT-4 plugin, is explicitly designed for blockchain analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an interview with Decrypt, Elan Halpern, Product Manager at Alchemy, he explained<\/a> their intention. He said it was to \"specifically cater to and train a model using ChatGPT that is Web3 development-specific\". <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This is real-time querying on the blockchain, like a developer would, using the API and writing a code script...This allows you to do that through natural language and normal sentences,\" <\/em>Halpern added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although no specific date was mentioned for the public release of the AlchemyAI, Halpern mentioned that it comprises the ChatGPT plugin and a programming assistant tool called Chat Web3, designed to support developers in their coding tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI And Blockchain <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

OpenAI's ChatGPT is causing a stir in the ever-changing landscape of AI tools, inspiring Web3 companies to harness its power for exploring the blockchain. AI has quickly emerged as a crucial component in various digital ventures. Organizations have embraced chatbots powered by ChatGPT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Floating Point Group (FPG) has halted <\/a>trading, deposits, and withdrawals due to a \"cyber security incident\"<\/em> on Sunday. FPG is a prime crypto brokerage that manages over $50 billion worth of assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FPG immediately worked with third-party forensics experts and law enforcement upon discovering the incident. A spokesperson from FPG acknowledged the incident and stated that the firm had secured all wallets, locked third-party accounts, and is investigating the incident's extent and details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the spokesperson, FPG's account segregation helped minimize the attack's impact. The spokesperson mentioned that the exact loss is estimated to be between $15 million and $20 million in cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are working with the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, our regulators, and Chainalysis to understand how this occurred and to recover assets,\"<\/em> the spokesperson said. \"As this is an ongoing investigation with law enforcement, we cannot share specifics now. We will provide updates as they become available.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

FPG, established in 2018 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is a platform that serves as a prime crypto brokerage and agency trading desk for asset managers. It offers liquidity access across various markets. In December, FPG stated that its blockchain foundation customers make up 5% of the total treasury management market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company has received investment from Coinbase Ventures, Anthony Scaramucci of SkyBridge Capital, and Naval Ravikant, the founder of AngelList. In total, FPG has raised $12 million in funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Floating Point Group (FPG) has halted <\/a>trading, deposits, and withdrawals due to a \"cyber security incident\"<\/em> on Sunday. FPG is a prime crypto brokerage that manages over $50 billion worth of assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FPG immediately worked with third-party forensics experts and law enforcement upon discovering the incident. A spokesperson from FPG acknowledged the incident and stated that the firm had secured all wallets, locked third-party accounts, and is investigating the incident's extent and details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the spokesperson, FPG's account segregation helped minimize the attack's impact. The spokesperson mentioned that the exact loss is estimated to be between $15 million and $20 million in cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are working with the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, our regulators, and Chainalysis to understand how this occurred and to recover assets,\"<\/em> the spokesperson said. \"As this is an ongoing investigation with law enforcement, we cannot share specifics now. We will provide updates as they become available.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

FPG, established in 2018 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is a platform that serves as a prime crypto brokerage and agency trading desk for asset managers. It offers liquidity access across various markets. In December, FPG stated that its blockchain foundation customers make up 5% of the total treasury management market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company has received investment from Coinbase Ventures, Anthony Scaramucci of SkyBridge Capital, and Naval Ravikant, the founder of AngelList. In total, FPG has raised $12 million in funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bitcoin Technical Analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades around $30,000 after an attempt to break the $32,500 resistance. This pivotal level is essential to the continuation of the uptrend. Breakout from this resistance could lead to a massive uptrend rally reaching $40,000 to $42,000. If unsuccessful, Bitcoin can be seen in a prolonged sideways market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouGov and Consensys conducted <\/a>a survey asking people around the world about emerging technology. This technology includes cryptocurrency, NFT, and Web3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouGov is an international polling company specializing in market research and data analytics. On the other hand, Consensys is a software company focused on Ethereum blockchain development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 15,000 individuals from 15 countries were polled in the survey between April 26 and May 18. The survey comprised 32 questions on Web3, cryptocurrencies, and participants' opinions on the internet landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report, 92% of respondents globally said they have heard of crypto. Nigeria, South Korea, and South Africa are among the countries that lead in awareness. Overall, 50% of respondents stated that they have heard about crypto and understand them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the contrary, Web3 awareness ranked as the \"least-known\" concept against Metaverse and NFT. Only 24% of the respondents globally are aware of the idea. At the same time, Metaverse and NFT raked 36% and 34%, respectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Web3?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the latest iteration of the internet, Web3 is still in the building process. So there is no single and established definition of it yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In emerging technologies, Web3 refers to the next generation of the internet, characterized by decentralization, blockchain technology, and increased user control over data and digital assets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It aims to redefine how we interact and transact online, enabling peer-to-peer interactions, intelligent contracts, and decentralized applications (dApps). Web3 is envisioned as a more open, transparent, and user-centric internet that empowers individuals and removes the need for intermediaries in various online activities.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Survey Reveals Awareness of Crypto And NFTs, But Limited Knowledge About Web3","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"survey-reveals-awareness-of-crypto-and-nfts-but-limited-knowledge-about-web3","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-29 06:44:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-28 20:44:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12244","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12176,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-24 17:08:34","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-24 07:08:34","post_content":"\n

The Singapore-based cybersecurity firm Group-IB reveals that hackers have leaked ChatGPT credentials on the dark web. The report indicates that the compromise has affected over 100,000 accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group-IB reported the theft using the Racoon Infostealer malware, which victims unknowingly downloaded through phishing emails. The report also wrote that the theft began in June 2022 and peaked in May 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Group-IB's report, the Asia-Pacific region accounted for most of the stolen ChatGPT credentials, with approximately 41,000 compromised accounts. India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Bangladesh are among the countries. Group-IB advises users to update passwords and enable two-factor authentication for enhanced security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Many enterprises are integrating ChatGPT into their operational flow.\"<\/em> Dimitry Shestakov, Head of Threat Intelligence at Group-IB, said in the press release. \"Employees enter classified correspondences or use the bot to optimize proprietary code. Given that ChatGPT's standard configuration retains all conversations, this could inadvertently offer a trove of sensitive intelligence to threat actors if they obtain account credentials.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mitigation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To protect compromised ChatGPT accounts, Group-IB advises users to update their passwords regularly and enable two-factor authentication (2FA). Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide a verification code, usually sent to their mobile devices when accessing their ChatGPT accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting dark web communities helps organizations identify potential leaks or sales of sensitive data. Real-time Threat Intelligence allows them to take proactive actions, notify affected individuals, and strengthen their cybersecurity defences. By leveraging real-time threat intelligence, companies can better understand threats, protect their assets, and make informed decisions to enhance cybersecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Wednesday, Polygon announced the launch<\/a> of 'Copilot,' a ChatGPT-powered guide assistant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Whether you're a serious builder, an enthusiast, or a curious user, Polygon Copilot is an AI-powered interface that unlocks a world of interactions simply by 'asking.\"<\/em> Polygon added, \"Its conversational UI represents a leap in the quality of user experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In partnership with LayerE, Polygon has developed Copilot, an application incorporating OpenAI's GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 technologies. Copilot is designed to offer users valuable insights, analytics, and guidance by leveraging its training on Polygon protocol documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"To ensure transparency and accuracy, [Copilot] shares the sources of the information included in its responses.\"<\/em> Polygon wrote in its post. \"This empowers users to verify the information and delve deeper into the topic. Additionally, Polygon Copilot goes beyond just answering questions by suggesting related inquiries, fostering an interactive and engaging experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factors to Consider When Using \"Copilot\"<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To prevent spamming and excessive computation load, Polygon Copilot limits its responses. However, users can earn additional credits by \"performing social tasks such as providing feedback or contributing to improving the offering.\"<\/em> Lucky users may also receive secret codes from partners, which can be redeemed for extra credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to answering queries, Copilot offers analytics and insights for NFTs, DeFi, and wallets through the \"\/stats\" command. It also facilitates the minting of zkEVM and PoS NFTs directly within the interface. With the inclusion of convenient hotkeys, Copilot enables faster and more efficient interaction, enhancing the overall speed and user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upcoming versions of Copilot will bring exciting additions, including new commands designed for various personas and use cases.

YouGov and Consensys conducted <\/a>a survey asking people around the world about emerging technology. This technology includes cryptocurrency, NFT, and Web3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouGov is an international polling company specializing in market research and data analytics. On the other hand, Consensys is a software company focused on Ethereum blockchain development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 15,000 individuals from 15 countries were polled in the survey between April 26 and May 18. The survey comprised 32 questions on Web3, cryptocurrencies, and participants' opinions on the internet landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report, 92% of respondents globally said they have heard of crypto. Nigeria, South Korea, and South Africa are among the countries that lead in awareness. Overall, 50% of respondents stated that they have heard about crypto and understand them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the contrary, Web3 awareness ranked as the \"least-known\" concept against Metaverse and NFT. Only 24% of the respondents globally are aware of the idea. At the same time, Metaverse and NFT raked 36% and 34%, respectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Web3?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the latest iteration of the internet, Web3 is still in the building process. So there is no single and established definition of it yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In emerging technologies, Web3 refers to the next generation of the internet, characterized by decentralization, blockchain technology, and increased user control over data and digital assets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It aims to redefine how we interact and transact online, enabling peer-to-peer interactions, intelligent contracts, and decentralized applications (dApps). Web3 is envisioned as a more open, transparent, and user-centric internet that empowers individuals and removes the need for intermediaries in various online activities.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Survey Reveals Awareness of Crypto And NFTs, But Limited Knowledge About Web3","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"survey-reveals-awareness-of-crypto-and-nfts-but-limited-knowledge-about-web3","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-29 06:44:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-28 20:44:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12244","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12176,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-24 17:08:34","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-24 07:08:34","post_content":"\n

The Singapore-based cybersecurity firm Group-IB reveals that hackers have leaked ChatGPT credentials on the dark web. The report indicates that the compromise has affected over 100,000 accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group-IB reported the theft using the Racoon Infostealer malware, which victims unknowingly downloaded through phishing emails. The report also wrote that the theft began in June 2022 and peaked in May 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Group-IB's report, the Asia-Pacific region accounted for most of the stolen ChatGPT credentials, with approximately 41,000 compromised accounts. India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Bangladesh are among the countries. Group-IB advises users to update passwords and enable two-factor authentication for enhanced security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Many enterprises are integrating ChatGPT into their operational flow.\"<\/em> Dimitry Shestakov, Head of Threat Intelligence at Group-IB, said in the press release. \"Employees enter classified correspondences or use the bot to optimize proprietary code. Given that ChatGPT's standard configuration retains all conversations, this could inadvertently offer a trove of sensitive intelligence to threat actors if they obtain account credentials.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mitigation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To protect compromised ChatGPT accounts, Group-IB advises users to update their passwords regularly and enable two-factor authentication (2FA). Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide a verification code, usually sent to their mobile devices when accessing their ChatGPT accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting dark web communities helps organizations identify potential leaks or sales of sensitive data. Real-time Threat Intelligence allows them to take proactive actions, notify affected individuals, and strengthen their cybersecurity defences. By leveraging real-time threat intelligence, companies can better understand threats, protect their assets, and make informed decisions to enhance cybersecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Wednesday, Polygon announced the launch<\/a> of 'Copilot,' a ChatGPT-powered guide assistant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Whether you're a serious builder, an enthusiast, or a curious user, Polygon Copilot is an AI-powered interface that unlocks a world of interactions simply by 'asking.\"<\/em> Polygon added, \"Its conversational UI represents a leap in the quality of user experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In partnership with LayerE, Polygon has developed Copilot, an application incorporating OpenAI's GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 technologies. Copilot is designed to offer users valuable insights, analytics, and guidance by leveraging its training on Polygon protocol documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"To ensure transparency and accuracy, [Copilot] shares the sources of the information included in its responses.\"<\/em> Polygon wrote in its post. \"This empowers users to verify the information and delve deeper into the topic. Additionally, Polygon Copilot goes beyond just answering questions by suggesting related inquiries, fostering an interactive and engaging experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factors to Consider When Using \"Copilot\"<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To prevent spamming and excessive computation load, Polygon Copilot limits its responses. However, users can earn additional credits by \"performing social tasks such as providing feedback or contributing to improving the offering.\"<\/em> Lucky users may also receive secret codes from partners, which can be redeemed for extra credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to answering queries, Copilot offers analytics and insights for NFTs, DeFi, and wallets through the \"\/stats\" command. It also facilitates the minting of zkEVM and PoS NFTs directly within the interface. With the inclusion of convenient hotkeys, Copilot enables faster and more efficient interaction, enhancing the overall speed and user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upcoming versions of Copilot will bring exciting additions, including new commands designed for various personas and use cases. These enhancements will accompany powerful extensions and plugins, enabling users to automate tasks and streamline processes within the protocol and dApp environments.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Polygon Introduces AI Assistant Chatbot Powered By ChatGPT","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"polygon-introduces-ai-assistant-chatbot-powered-by-chatgpt","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-23 06:31:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-22 20:31:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12163","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12144,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-22 06:54:01","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-21 20:54:01","post_content":"\n

Fortnite introduces <\/a>\"Airphoria,\" a new Nike-themed adventure within the game's Creative Mode. It offers players an exciting opportunity to embark on the ultimate 'sneaker hunt.' The event will be live until June 27, and players can earn free in-game sneakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the complimentary item is not an NFT, and this collaboration does not include any NFTs for apparel or accessories. Despite the association with the Nike brand, there are no plans for tokenized digital items in Fortnite. Epic Games decided to maintain its traditional approach to digital goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/Nike\/status\/1671186972705017858?s=20\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"The connection between Fortnite and Nike doesn't integrate any NFTs or digital item trading marketplaces into the Fortnite world or its economy,\"<\/em> an Epic Games spokesperson told Decrypt. \"Items recognized across these two ecosystems are purely for the purchaser's enjoyment and aren't tradeable, transferrable, or sellable, as has always been the case in the Fortnite economy.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No In-Game NFTs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nike's partnership with Fortnite does not introduce NFTs to the game but establishes a connection. This collaboration hints at Nike's potential use. Swoosh is a platform for gaming and metaverse digital items. However, Nike's specific intentions in this regard are uncertain. It is worth noting that Swoosh is centered around user IDs based on NFTs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Nike's platform, NFT items are categorized as Virtual Creations, implying that they could provide future accessibility through these accomplishments.

It's important to note that this information is clearly stated in the disclaimer on the Epic Games website.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Fortnite x Nike; An NFT Platform Collaborate, But No In-Game NFTs","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fortnite-x-nike-an-nft-platform-collaborate-but-no-in-game-nfts","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-22 06:54:10","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-21 20:54:10","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12144","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12124,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-21 15:34:45","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-21 05:34:45","post_content":"\n

Etherscan, a widely used Ethereum block explorer, is integrating ChatGPT into the Code Reader. The tool is used for comprehensive analysis of the Ethereum blockchain. Last Monday, the company announced the latest tool, Code Reader, which is currently in beta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The Code Reader is a tool that leverages the power of AI to provide users with the ability to retrieve and interpret the source code of a specific contract address,\" <\/em>Etherscan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Etherscan's decision to integrate ChatGPT, it is clear that this AI technology is gaining traction within the blockchain ecosystem. By leveraging the power of ChatGPT, Etherscan aims to offer its user an enhanced experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan has joined the hype as AI started to influence blockchain companies. Alchemy unveiled <\/a>AlchemyAI last week, which utilizes ChatGPT technology for blockchain exploration. Last April, Solana Labs launched <\/a>its ChatGPT plugin, empowering developers with an interactive AI experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan Warns the Public<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan cautions users that the ChatGPT tool is meant for informational purposes only and advises against blindly accepting its responses. They emphasize the importance of independent verification and not relying on the tool for evidence or bug bounties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This disclaimer is significant due to the prevalent issue of AI chatbots generating false information. AI hallucinations occur when AI systems produce inaccurate results that lack real-world data support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alchemy, a prominent developer of blockchain platforms, revealed <\/a>its newest venture on Wednesday. AlchemyAI, a GPT-4 plugin, is explicitly designed for blockchain analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an interview with Decrypt, Elan Halpern, Product Manager at Alchemy, he explained<\/a> their intention. He said it was to \"specifically cater to and train a model using ChatGPT that is Web3 development-specific\". <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This is real-time querying on the blockchain, like a developer would, using the API and writing a code script...This allows you to do that through natural language and normal sentences,\" <\/em>Halpern added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although no specific date was mentioned for the public release of the AlchemyAI, Halpern mentioned that it comprises the ChatGPT plugin and a programming assistant tool called Chat Web3, designed to support developers in their coding tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI And Blockchain <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

OpenAI's ChatGPT is causing a stir in the ever-changing landscape of AI tools, inspiring Web3 companies to harness its power for exploring the blockchain. AI has quickly emerged as a crucial component in various digital ventures. Organizations have embraced chatbots powered by ChatGPT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 15,000 individuals from 15 countries were polled in the survey between April 26 and May 18. The survey comprised 32 questions on Web3, cryptocurrencies, and participants' opinions on the internet landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report, 92% of respondents globally said they have heard of crypto. Nigeria, South Korea, and South Africa are among the countries that lead in awareness. Overall, 50% of respondents stated that they have heard about crypto and understand them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the contrary, Web3 awareness ranked as the \"least-known\" concept against Metaverse and NFT. Only 24% of the respondents globally are aware of the idea. At the same time, Metaverse and NFT raked 36% and 34%, respectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Web3?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the latest iteration of the internet, Web3 is still in the building process. So there is no single and established definition of it yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In emerging technologies, Web3 refers to the next generation of the internet, characterized by decentralization, blockchain technology, and increased user control over data and digital assets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It aims to redefine how we interact and transact online, enabling peer-to-peer interactions, intelligent contracts, and decentralized applications (dApps). Web3 is envisioned as a more open, transparent, and user-centric internet that empowers individuals and removes the need for intermediaries in various online activities.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Survey Reveals Awareness of Crypto And NFTs, But Limited Knowledge About Web3","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"survey-reveals-awareness-of-crypto-and-nfts-but-limited-knowledge-about-web3","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-29 06:44:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-28 20:44:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12244","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12176,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-24 17:08:34","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-24 07:08:34","post_content":"\n

The Singapore-based cybersecurity firm Group-IB reveals that hackers have leaked ChatGPT credentials on the dark web. The report indicates that the compromise has affected over 100,000 accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group-IB reported the theft using the Racoon Infostealer malware, which victims unknowingly downloaded through phishing emails. The report also wrote that the theft began in June 2022 and peaked in May 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Group-IB's report, the Asia-Pacific region accounted for most of the stolen ChatGPT credentials, with approximately 41,000 compromised accounts. India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Bangladesh are among the countries. Group-IB advises users to update passwords and enable two-factor authentication for enhanced security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Many enterprises are integrating ChatGPT into their operational flow.\"<\/em> Dimitry Shestakov, Head of Threat Intelligence at Group-IB, said in the press release. \"Employees enter classified correspondences or use the bot to optimize proprietary code. Given that ChatGPT's standard configuration retains all conversations, this could inadvertently offer a trove of sensitive intelligence to threat actors if they obtain account credentials.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mitigation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To protect compromised ChatGPT accounts, Group-IB advises users to update their passwords regularly and enable two-factor authentication (2FA). Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide a verification code, usually sent to their mobile devices when accessing their ChatGPT accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Wednesday, Polygon announced the launch<\/a> of 'Copilot,' a ChatGPT-powered guide assistant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Whether you're a serious builder, an enthusiast, or a curious user, Polygon Copilot is an AI-powered interface that unlocks a world of interactions simply by 'asking.\"<\/em> Polygon added, \"Its conversational UI represents a leap in the quality of user experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In partnership with LayerE, Polygon has developed Copilot, an application incorporating OpenAI's GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 technologies. Copilot is designed to offer users valuable insights, analytics, and guidance by leveraging its training on Polygon protocol documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"To ensure transparency and accuracy, [Copilot] shares the sources of the information included in its responses.\"<\/em> Polygon wrote in its post. \"This empowers users to verify the information and delve deeper into the topic. Additionally, Polygon Copilot goes beyond just answering questions by suggesting related inquiries, fostering an interactive and engaging experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortnite introduces <\/a>\"Airphoria,\" a new Nike-themed adventure within the game's Creative Mode. It offers players an exciting opportunity to embark on the ultimate 'sneaker hunt.' The event will be live until June 27, and players can earn free in-game sneakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the complimentary item is not an NFT, and this collaboration does not include any NFTs for apparel or accessories. Despite the association with the Nike brand, there are no plans for tokenized digital items in Fortnite. Epic Games decided to maintain its traditional approach to digital goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The connection between Fortnite and Nike doesn't integrate any NFTs or digital item trading marketplaces into the Fortnite world or its economy,\"<\/em> an Epic Games spokesperson told Decrypt. \"Items recognized across these two ecosystems are purely for the purchaser's enjoyment and aren't tradeable, transferrable, or sellable, as has always been the case in the Fortnite economy.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No In-Game NFTs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nike's partnership with Fortnite does not introduce NFTs to the game but establishes a connection. This collaboration hints at Nike's potential use. Swoosh is a platform for gaming and metaverse digital items. However, Nike's specific intentions in this regard are uncertain. It is worth noting that Swoosh is centered around user IDs based on NFTs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan, a widely used Ethereum block explorer, is integrating ChatGPT into the Code Reader. The tool is used for comprehensive analysis of the Ethereum blockchain. Last Monday, the company announced the latest tool, Code Reader, which is currently in beta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The Code Reader is a tool that leverages the power of AI to provide users with the ability to retrieve and interpret the source code of a specific contract address,\" <\/em>Etherscan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Etherscan's decision to integrate ChatGPT, it is clear that this AI technology is gaining traction within the blockchain ecosystem. By leveraging the power of ChatGPT, Etherscan aims to offer its user an enhanced experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan has joined the hype as AI started to influence blockchain companies. Alchemy unveiled <\/a>AlchemyAI last week, which utilizes ChatGPT technology for blockchain exploration. Last April, Solana Labs launched <\/a>its ChatGPT plugin, empowering developers with an interactive AI experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan Warns the Public<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan cautions users that the ChatGPT tool is meant for informational purposes only and advises against blindly accepting its responses. They emphasize the importance of independent verification and not relying on the tool for evidence or bug bounties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This disclaimer is significant due to the prevalent issue of AI chatbots generating false information. AI hallucinations occur when AI systems produce inaccurate results that lack real-world data support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the United Nations has raised <\/a>concerns about using AI-generated deep fakes to propagate hate and misinformation on social media. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Etherscan Introduces ChatGPT-Powered Tool","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"etherscan-introduces-chatgpt-powered-tool","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-21 15:34:52","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-21 05:34:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12124","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12051,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-18 22:06:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-18 12:06:55","post_content":"\n

Alchemy, a prominent developer of blockchain platforms, revealed <\/a>its newest venture on Wednesday. AlchemyAI, a GPT-4 plugin, is explicitly designed for blockchain analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an interview with Decrypt, Elan Halpern, Product Manager at Alchemy, he explained<\/a> their intention. He said it was to \"specifically cater to and train a model using ChatGPT that is Web3 development-specific\". <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This is real-time querying on the blockchain, like a developer would, using the API and writing a code script...This allows you to do that through natural language and normal sentences,\" <\/em>Halpern added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although no specific date was mentioned for the public release of the AlchemyAI, Halpern mentioned that it comprises the ChatGPT plugin and a programming assistant tool called Chat Web3, designed to support developers in their coding tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI And Blockchain <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

OpenAI's ChatGPT is causing a stir in the ever-changing landscape of AI tools, inspiring Web3 companies to harness its power for exploring the blockchain. AI has quickly emerged as a crucial component in various digital ventures. Organizations have embraced chatbots powered by ChatGPT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Floating Point Group (FPG) has halted <\/a>trading, deposits, and withdrawals due to a \"cyber security incident\"<\/em> on Sunday. FPG is a prime crypto brokerage that manages over $50 billion worth of assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FPG immediately worked with third-party forensics experts and law enforcement upon discovering the incident. A spokesperson from FPG acknowledged the incident and stated that the firm had secured all wallets, locked third-party accounts, and is investigating the incident's extent and details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the spokesperson, FPG's account segregation helped minimize the attack's impact. The spokesperson mentioned that the exact loss is estimated to be between $15 million and $20 million in cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are working with the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, our regulators, and Chainalysis to understand how this occurred and to recover assets,\"<\/em> the spokesperson said. \"As this is an ongoing investigation with law enforcement, we cannot share specifics now. We will provide updates as they become available.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

More to FPG<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

FPG, established in 2018 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is a platform that serves as a prime crypto brokerage and agency trading desk for asset managers. It offers liquidity access across various markets. In December, FPG stated that its blockchain foundation customers make up 5% of the total treasury management market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company has received investment from Coinbase Ventures, Anthony Scaramucci of SkyBridge Capital, and Naval Ravikant, the founder of AngelList. In total, FPG has raised $12 million in funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades around $30,000 after an attempt to break the $32,500 resistance. This pivotal level is essential to the continuation of the uptrend. Breakout from this resistance could lead to a massive uptrend rally reaching $40,000 to $42,000. If unsuccessful, Bitcoin can be seen in a prolonged sideways market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Floating Point Group (FPG) has halted <\/a>trading, deposits, and withdrawals due to a \"cyber security incident\"<\/em> on Sunday. FPG is a prime crypto brokerage that manages over $50 billion worth of assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FPG immediately worked with third-party forensics experts and law enforcement upon discovering the incident. A spokesperson from FPG acknowledged the incident and stated that the firm had secured all wallets, locked third-party accounts, and is investigating the incident's extent and details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the spokesperson, FPG's account segregation helped minimize the attack's impact. The spokesperson mentioned that the exact loss is estimated to be between $15 million and $20 million in cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are working with the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, our regulators, and Chainalysis to understand how this occurred and to recover assets,\"<\/em> the spokesperson said. \"As this is an ongoing investigation with law enforcement, we cannot share specifics now.

Bitcoin Technical Analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades around $30,000 after an attempt to break the $32,500 resistance. This pivotal level is essential to the continuation of the uptrend. Breakout from this resistance could lead to a massive uptrend rally reaching $40,000 to $42,000. If unsuccessful, Bitcoin can be seen in a prolonged sideways market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouGov and Consensys conducted <\/a>a survey asking people around the world about emerging technology. This technology includes cryptocurrency, NFT, and Web3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouGov is an international polling company specializing in market research and data analytics. On the other hand, Consensys is a software company focused on Ethereum blockchain development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 15,000 individuals from 15 countries were polled in the survey between April 26 and May 18. The survey comprised 32 questions on Web3, cryptocurrencies, and participants' opinions on the internet landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report, 92% of respondents globally said they have heard of crypto. Nigeria, South Korea, and South Africa are among the countries that lead in awareness. Overall, 50% of respondents stated that they have heard about crypto and understand them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the contrary, Web3 awareness ranked as the \"least-known\" concept against Metaverse and NFT. Only 24% of the respondents globally are aware of the idea. At the same time, Metaverse and NFT raked 36% and 34%, respectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Web3?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the latest iteration of the internet, Web3 is still in the building process. So there is no single and established definition of it yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In emerging technologies, Web3 refers to the next generation of the internet, characterized by decentralization, blockchain technology, and increased user control over data and digital assets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It aims to redefine how we interact and transact online, enabling peer-to-peer interactions, intelligent contracts, and decentralized applications (dApps). Web3 is envisioned as a more open, transparent, and user-centric internet that empowers individuals and removes the need for intermediaries in various online activities.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Survey Reveals Awareness of Crypto And NFTs, But Limited Knowledge About Web3","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"survey-reveals-awareness-of-crypto-and-nfts-but-limited-knowledge-about-web3","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-29 06:44:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-28 20:44:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12244","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12176,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-24 17:08:34","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-24 07:08:34","post_content":"\n

The Singapore-based cybersecurity firm Group-IB reveals that hackers have leaked ChatGPT credentials on the dark web. The report indicates that the compromise has affected over 100,000 accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group-IB reported the theft using the Racoon Infostealer malware, which victims unknowingly downloaded through phishing emails. The report also wrote that the theft began in June 2022 and peaked in May 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Group-IB's report, the Asia-Pacific region accounted for most of the stolen ChatGPT credentials, with approximately 41,000 compromised accounts. India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Bangladesh are among the countries. Group-IB advises users to update passwords and enable two-factor authentication for enhanced security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Many enterprises are integrating ChatGPT into their operational flow.\"<\/em> Dimitry Shestakov, Head of Threat Intelligence at Group-IB, said in the press release. \"Employees enter classified correspondences or use the bot to optimize proprietary code. Given that ChatGPT's standard configuration retains all conversations, this could inadvertently offer a trove of sensitive intelligence to threat actors if they obtain account credentials.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mitigation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To protect compromised ChatGPT accounts, Group-IB advises users to update their passwords regularly and enable two-factor authentication (2FA). Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide a verification code, usually sent to their mobile devices when accessing their ChatGPT accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting dark web communities helps organizations identify potential leaks or sales of sensitive data. Real-time Threat Intelligence allows them to take proactive actions, notify affected individuals, and strengthen their cybersecurity defences. By leveraging real-time threat intelligence, companies can better understand threats, protect their assets, and make informed decisions to enhance cybersecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Wednesday, Polygon announced the launch<\/a> of 'Copilot,' a ChatGPT-powered guide assistant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Whether you're a serious builder, an enthusiast, or a curious user, Polygon Copilot is an AI-powered interface that unlocks a world of interactions simply by 'asking.\"<\/em> Polygon added, \"Its conversational UI represents a leap in the quality of user experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In partnership with LayerE, Polygon has developed Copilot, an application incorporating OpenAI's GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 technologies. Copilot is designed to offer users valuable insights, analytics, and guidance by leveraging its training on Polygon protocol documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"To ensure transparency and accuracy, [Copilot] shares the sources of the information included in its responses.\"<\/em> Polygon wrote in its post. \"This empowers users to verify the information and delve deeper into the topic. Additionally, Polygon Copilot goes beyond just answering questions by suggesting related inquiries, fostering an interactive and engaging experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factors to Consider When Using \"Copilot\"<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To prevent spamming and excessive computation load, Polygon Copilot limits its responses. However, users can earn additional credits by \"performing social tasks such as providing feedback or contributing to improving the offering.\"<\/em> Lucky users may also receive secret codes from partners, which can be redeemed for extra credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to answering queries, Copilot offers analytics and insights for NFTs, DeFi, and wallets through the \"\/stats\" command. It also facilitates the minting of zkEVM and PoS NFTs directly within the interface. With the inclusion of convenient hotkeys, Copilot enables faster and more efficient interaction, enhancing the overall speed and user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upcoming versions of Copilot will bring exciting additions, including new commands designed for various personas and use cases.

Bitcoin Technical Analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades around $30,000 after an attempt to break the $32,500 resistance. This pivotal level is essential to the continuation of the uptrend. Breakout from this resistance could lead to a massive uptrend rally reaching $40,000 to $42,000. If unsuccessful, Bitcoin can be seen in a prolonged sideways market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouGov and Consensys conducted <\/a>a survey asking people around the world about emerging technology. This technology includes cryptocurrency, NFT, and Web3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouGov is an international polling company specializing in market research and data analytics. On the other hand, Consensys is a software company focused on Ethereum blockchain development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 15,000 individuals from 15 countries were polled in the survey between April 26 and May 18. The survey comprised 32 questions on Web3, cryptocurrencies, and participants' opinions on the internet landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report, 92% of respondents globally said they have heard of crypto. Nigeria, South Korea, and South Africa are among the countries that lead in awareness. Overall, 50% of respondents stated that they have heard about crypto and understand them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the contrary, Web3 awareness ranked as the \"least-known\" concept against Metaverse and NFT. Only 24% of the respondents globally are aware of the idea. At the same time, Metaverse and NFT raked 36% and 34%, respectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Web3?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the latest iteration of the internet, Web3 is still in the building process. So there is no single and established definition of it yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In emerging technologies, Web3 refers to the next generation of the internet, characterized by decentralization, blockchain technology, and increased user control over data and digital assets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It aims to redefine how we interact and transact online, enabling peer-to-peer interactions, intelligent contracts, and decentralized applications (dApps). Web3 is envisioned as a more open, transparent, and user-centric internet that empowers individuals and removes the need for intermediaries in various online activities.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Survey Reveals Awareness of Crypto And NFTs, But Limited Knowledge About Web3","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"survey-reveals-awareness-of-crypto-and-nfts-but-limited-knowledge-about-web3","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-29 06:44:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-28 20:44:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12244","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12176,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-24 17:08:34","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-24 07:08:34","post_content":"\n

The Singapore-based cybersecurity firm Group-IB reveals that hackers have leaked ChatGPT credentials on the dark web. The report indicates that the compromise has affected over 100,000 accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group-IB reported the theft using the Racoon Infostealer malware, which victims unknowingly downloaded through phishing emails. The report also wrote that the theft began in June 2022 and peaked in May 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Group-IB's report, the Asia-Pacific region accounted for most of the stolen ChatGPT credentials, with approximately 41,000 compromised accounts. India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Bangladesh are among the countries. Group-IB advises users to update passwords and enable two-factor authentication for enhanced security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Many enterprises are integrating ChatGPT into their operational flow.\"<\/em> Dimitry Shestakov, Head of Threat Intelligence at Group-IB, said in the press release. \"Employees enter classified correspondences or use the bot to optimize proprietary code. Given that ChatGPT's standard configuration retains all conversations, this could inadvertently offer a trove of sensitive intelligence to threat actors if they obtain account credentials.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mitigation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To protect compromised ChatGPT accounts, Group-IB advises users to update their passwords regularly and enable two-factor authentication (2FA). Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide a verification code, usually sent to their mobile devices when accessing their ChatGPT accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting dark web communities helps organizations identify potential leaks or sales of sensitive data. Real-time Threat Intelligence allows them to take proactive actions, notify affected individuals, and strengthen their cybersecurity defences. By leveraging real-time threat intelligence, companies can better understand threats, protect their assets, and make informed decisions to enhance cybersecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Wednesday, Polygon announced the launch<\/a> of 'Copilot,' a ChatGPT-powered guide assistant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Whether you're a serious builder, an enthusiast, or a curious user, Polygon Copilot is an AI-powered interface that unlocks a world of interactions simply by 'asking.\"<\/em> Polygon added, \"Its conversational UI represents a leap in the quality of user experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In partnership with LayerE, Polygon has developed Copilot, an application incorporating OpenAI's GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 technologies. Copilot is designed to offer users valuable insights, analytics, and guidance by leveraging its training on Polygon protocol documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"To ensure transparency and accuracy, [Copilot] shares the sources of the information included in its responses.\"<\/em> Polygon wrote in its post. \"This empowers users to verify the information and delve deeper into the topic. Additionally, Polygon Copilot goes beyond just answering questions by suggesting related inquiries, fostering an interactive and engaging experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factors to Consider When Using \"Copilot\"<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To prevent spamming and excessive computation load, Polygon Copilot limits its responses. However, users can earn additional credits by \"performing social tasks such as providing feedback or contributing to improving the offering.\"<\/em> Lucky users may also receive secret codes from partners, which can be redeemed for extra credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to answering queries, Copilot offers analytics and insights for NFTs, DeFi, and wallets through the \"\/stats\" command. It also facilitates the minting of zkEVM and PoS NFTs directly within the interface. With the inclusion of convenient hotkeys, Copilot enables faster and more efficient interaction, enhancing the overall speed and user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upcoming versions of Copilot will bring exciting additions, including new commands designed for various personas and use cases. These enhancements will accompany powerful extensions and plugins, enabling users to automate tasks and streamline processes within the protocol and dApp environments.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Polygon Introduces AI Assistant Chatbot Powered By ChatGPT","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"polygon-introduces-ai-assistant-chatbot-powered-by-chatgpt","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-23 06:31:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-22 20:31:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12163","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12144,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-22 06:54:01","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-21 20:54:01","post_content":"\n

Fortnite introduces <\/a>\"Airphoria,\" a new Nike-themed adventure within the game's Creative Mode. It offers players an exciting opportunity to embark on the ultimate 'sneaker hunt.' The event will be live until June 27, and players can earn free in-game sneakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the complimentary item is not an NFT, and this collaboration does not include any NFTs for apparel or accessories. Despite the association with the Nike brand, there are no plans for tokenized digital items in Fortnite. Epic Games decided to maintain its traditional approach to digital goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/Nike\/status\/1671186972705017858?s=20\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"The connection between Fortnite and Nike doesn't integrate any NFTs or digital item trading marketplaces into the Fortnite world or its economy,\"<\/em> an Epic Games spokesperson told Decrypt. \"Items recognized across these two ecosystems are purely for the purchaser's enjoyment and aren't tradeable, transferrable, or sellable, as has always been the case in the Fortnite economy.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No In-Game NFTs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nike's partnership with Fortnite does not introduce NFTs to the game but establishes a connection. This collaboration hints at Nike's potential use. Swoosh is a platform for gaming and metaverse digital items. However, Nike's specific intentions in this regard are uncertain. It is worth noting that Swoosh is centered around user IDs based on NFTs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan, a widely used Ethereum block explorer, is integrating ChatGPT into the Code Reader. The tool is used for comprehensive analysis of the Ethereum blockchain. Last Monday, the company announced the latest tool, Code Reader, which is currently in beta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The Code Reader is a tool that leverages the power of AI to provide users with the ability to retrieve and interpret the source code of a specific contract address,\" <\/em>Etherscan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Etherscan's decision to integrate ChatGPT, it is clear that this AI technology is gaining traction within the blockchain ecosystem. By leveraging the power of ChatGPT, Etherscan aims to offer its user an enhanced experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan has joined the hype as AI started to influence blockchain companies. Alchemy unveiled <\/a>AlchemyAI last week, which utilizes ChatGPT technology for blockchain exploration. Last April, Solana Labs launched <\/a>its ChatGPT plugin, empowering developers with an interactive AI experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan Warns the Public<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan cautions users that the ChatGPT tool is meant for informational purposes only and advises against blindly accepting its responses. They emphasize the importance of independent verification and not relying on the tool for evidence or bug bounties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This disclaimer is significant due to the prevalent issue of AI chatbots generating false information. AI hallucinations occur when AI systems produce inaccurate results that lack real-world data support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouGov and Consensys conducted <\/a>a survey asking people around the world about emerging technology. This technology includes cryptocurrency, NFT, and Web3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouGov is an international polling company specializing in market research and data analytics. On the other hand, Consensys is a software company focused on Ethereum blockchain development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 15,000 individuals from 15 countries were polled in the survey between April 26 and May 18. The survey comprised 32 questions on Web3, cryptocurrencies, and participants' opinions on the internet landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report, 92% of respondents globally said they have heard of crypto. Nigeria, South Korea, and South Africa are among the countries that lead in awareness. Overall, 50% of respondents stated that they have heard about crypto and understand them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the contrary, Web3 awareness ranked as the \"least-known\" concept against Metaverse and NFT. Only 24% of the respondents globally are aware of the idea. At the same time, Metaverse and NFT raked 36% and 34%, respectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Web3?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the latest iteration of the internet, Web3 is still in the building process. So there is no single and established definition of it yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In emerging technologies, Web3 refers to the next generation of the internet, characterized by decentralization, blockchain technology, and increased user control over data and digital assets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It aims to redefine how we interact and transact online, enabling peer-to-peer interactions, intelligent contracts, and decentralized applications (dApps). Web3 is envisioned as a more open, transparent, and user-centric internet that empowers individuals and removes the need for intermediaries in various online activities.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Survey Reveals Awareness of Crypto And NFTs, But Limited Knowledge About Web3","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"survey-reveals-awareness-of-crypto-and-nfts-but-limited-knowledge-about-web3","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-29 06:44:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-28 20:44:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12244","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12176,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-24 17:08:34","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-24 07:08:34","post_content":"\n

The Singapore-based cybersecurity firm Group-IB reveals that hackers have leaked ChatGPT credentials on the dark web. The report indicates that the compromise has affected over 100,000 accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group-IB reported the theft using the Racoon Infostealer malware, which victims unknowingly downloaded through phishing emails. The report also wrote that the theft began in June 2022 and peaked in May 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Group-IB's report, the Asia-Pacific region accounted for most of the stolen ChatGPT credentials, with approximately 41,000 compromised accounts. India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Bangladesh are among the countries. Group-IB advises users to update passwords and enable two-factor authentication for enhanced security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Many enterprises are integrating ChatGPT into their operational flow.\"<\/em> Dimitry Shestakov, Head of Threat Intelligence at Group-IB, said in the press release. \"Employees enter classified correspondences or use the bot to optimize proprietary code. Given that ChatGPT's standard configuration retains all conversations, this could inadvertently offer a trove of sensitive intelligence to threat actors if they obtain account credentials.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mitigation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To protect compromised ChatGPT accounts, Group-IB advises users to update their passwords regularly and enable two-factor authentication (2FA). Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide a verification code, usually sent to their mobile devices when accessing their ChatGPT accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting dark web communities helps organizations identify potential leaks or sales of sensitive data. Real-time Threat Intelligence allows them to take proactive actions, notify affected individuals, and strengthen their cybersecurity defences. By leveraging real-time threat intelligence, companies can better understand threats, protect their assets, and make informed decisions to enhance cybersecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Wednesday, Polygon announced the launch<\/a> of 'Copilot,' a ChatGPT-powered guide assistant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Whether you're a serious builder, an enthusiast, or a curious user, Polygon Copilot is an AI-powered interface that unlocks a world of interactions simply by 'asking.\"<\/em> Polygon added, \"Its conversational UI represents a leap in the quality of user experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In partnership with LayerE, Polygon has developed Copilot, an application incorporating OpenAI's GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 technologies. Copilot is designed to offer users valuable insights, analytics, and guidance by leveraging its training on Polygon protocol documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"To ensure transparency and accuracy, [Copilot] shares the sources of the information included in its responses.\"<\/em> Polygon wrote in its post. \"This empowers users to verify the information and delve deeper into the topic. Additionally, Polygon Copilot goes beyond just answering questions by suggesting related inquiries, fostering an interactive and engaging experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factors to Consider When Using \"Copilot\"<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To prevent spamming and excessive computation load, Polygon Copilot limits its responses. However, users can earn additional credits by \"performing social tasks such as providing feedback or contributing to improving the offering.\"<\/em> Lucky users may also receive secret codes from partners, which can be redeemed for extra credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to answering queries, Copilot offers analytics and insights for NFTs, DeFi, and wallets through the \"\/stats\" command. It also facilitates the minting of zkEVM and PoS NFTs directly within the interface. With the inclusion of convenient hotkeys, Copilot enables faster and more efficient interaction, enhancing the overall speed and user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upcoming versions of Copilot will bring exciting additions, including new commands designed for various personas and use cases. These enhancements will accompany powerful extensions and plugins, enabling users to automate tasks and streamline processes within the protocol and dApp environments.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Polygon Introduces AI Assistant Chatbot Powered By ChatGPT","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"polygon-introduces-ai-assistant-chatbot-powered-by-chatgpt","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-23 06:31:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-22 20:31:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12163","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12144,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-22 06:54:01","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-21 20:54:01","post_content":"\n

Fortnite introduces <\/a>\"Airphoria,\" a new Nike-themed adventure within the game's Creative Mode. It offers players an exciting opportunity to embark on the ultimate 'sneaker hunt.' The event will be live until June 27, and players can earn free in-game sneakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the complimentary item is not an NFT, and this collaboration does not include any NFTs for apparel or accessories. Despite the association with the Nike brand, there are no plans for tokenized digital items in Fortnite. Epic Games decided to maintain its traditional approach to digital goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The connection between Fortnite and Nike doesn't integrate any NFTs or digital item trading marketplaces into the Fortnite world or its economy,\"<\/em> an Epic Games spokesperson told Decrypt. \"Items recognized across these two ecosystems are purely for the purchaser's enjoyment and aren't tradeable, transferrable, or sellable, as has always been the case in the Fortnite economy.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No In-Game NFTs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nike's partnership with Fortnite does not introduce NFTs to the game but establishes a connection. This collaboration hints at Nike's potential use. Swoosh is a platform for gaming and metaverse digital items. However, Nike's specific intentions in this regard are uncertain. It is worth noting that Swoosh is centered around user IDs based on NFTs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan, a widely used Ethereum block explorer, is integrating ChatGPT into the Code Reader. The tool is used for comprehensive analysis of the Ethereum blockchain. Last Monday, the company announced the latest tool, Code Reader, which is currently in beta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The Code Reader is a tool that leverages the power of AI to provide users with the ability to retrieve and interpret the source code of a specific contract address,\" <\/em>Etherscan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Etherscan's decision to integrate ChatGPT, it is clear that this AI technology is gaining traction within the blockchain ecosystem. By leveraging the power of ChatGPT, Etherscan aims to offer its user an enhanced experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan has joined the hype as AI started to influence blockchain companies. Alchemy unveiled <\/a>AlchemyAI last week, which utilizes ChatGPT technology for blockchain exploration. Last April, Solana Labs launched <\/a>its ChatGPT plugin, empowering developers with an interactive AI experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan Warns the Public<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan cautions users that the ChatGPT tool is meant for informational purposes only and advises against blindly accepting its responses. They emphasize the importance of independent verification and not relying on the tool for evidence or bug bounties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This disclaimer is significant due to the prevalent issue of AI chatbots generating false information. AI hallucinations occur when AI systems produce inaccurate results that lack real-world data support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the United Nations has raised <\/a>concerns about using AI-generated deep fakes to propagate hate and misinformation on social media. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Etherscan Introduces ChatGPT-Powered Tool","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"etherscan-introduces-chatgpt-powered-tool","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-21 15:34:52","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-21 05:34:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12124","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12051,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-18 22:06:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-18 12:06:55","post_content":"\n

In an interview with Decrypt, Elan Halpern, Product Manager at Alchemy, he explained<\/a> their intention. He said it was to \"specifically cater to and train a model using ChatGPT that is Web3 development-specific\". <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This is real-time querying on the blockchain, like a developer would, using the API and writing a code script...This allows you to do that through natural language and normal sentences,\" <\/em>Halpern added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although no specific date was mentioned for the public release of the AlchemyAI, Halpern mentioned that it comprises the ChatGPT plugin and a programming assistant tool called Chat Web3, designed to support developers in their coding tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI And Blockchain <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

OpenAI's ChatGPT is causing a stir in the ever-changing landscape of AI tools, inspiring Web3 companies to harness its power for exploring the blockchain. AI has quickly emerged as a crucial component in various digital ventures. Organizations have embraced chatbots powered by ChatGPT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Floating Point Group (FPG) has halted <\/a>trading, deposits, and withdrawals due to a \"cyber security incident\"<\/em> on Sunday. FPG is a prime crypto brokerage that manages over $50 billion worth of assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FPG immediately worked with third-party forensics experts and law enforcement upon discovering the incident. A spokesperson from FPG acknowledged the incident and stated that the firm had secured all wallets, locked third-party accounts, and is investigating the incident's extent and details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the spokesperson, FPG's account segregation helped minimize the attack's impact. The spokesperson mentioned that the exact loss is estimated to be between $15 million and $20 million in cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are working with the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, our regulators, and Chainalysis to understand how this occurred and to recover assets,\"<\/em> the spokesperson said. \"As this is an ongoing investigation with law enforcement, we cannot share specifics now. We will provide updates as they become available.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortnite introduces <\/a>\"Airphoria,\" a new Nike-themed adventure within the game's Creative Mode. It offers players an exciting opportunity to embark on the ultimate 'sneaker hunt.' The event will be live until June 27, and players can earn free in-game sneakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the complimentary item is not an NFT, and this collaboration does not include any NFTs for apparel or accessories.

Etherscan, a widely used Ethereum block explorer, is integrating ChatGPT into the Code Reader. The tool is used for comprehensive analysis of the Ethereum blockchain. Last Monday, the company announced the latest tool, Code Reader, which is currently in beta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The Code Reader is a tool that leverages the power of AI to provide users with the ability to retrieve and interpret the source code of a specific contract address,\" <\/em>Etherscan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Etherscan's decision to integrate ChatGPT, it is clear that this AI technology is gaining traction within the blockchain ecosystem. By leveraging the power of ChatGPT, Etherscan aims to offer its user an enhanced experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan has joined the hype as AI started to influence blockchain companies. Alchemy unveiled <\/a>AlchemyAI last week, which utilizes ChatGPT technology for blockchain exploration. Last April, Solana Labs launched <\/a>its ChatGPT plugin, empowering developers with an interactive AI experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan Warns the Public<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan cautions users that the ChatGPT tool is meant for informational purposes only and advises against blindly accepting its responses. They emphasize the importance of independent verification and not relying on the tool for evidence or bug bounties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This disclaimer is significant due to the prevalent issue of AI chatbots generating false information. AI hallucinations occur when AI systems produce inaccurate results that lack real-world data support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the United Nations has raised <\/a>concerns about using AI-generated deep fakes to propagate hate and misinformation on social media. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Etherscan Introduces ChatGPT-Powered Tool","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"etherscan-introduces-chatgpt-powered-tool","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-21 15:34:52","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-21 05:34:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12124","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12051,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-18 22:06:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-18 12:06:55","post_content":"\n

In an interview with Decrypt, Elan Halpern, Product Manager at Alchemy, he explained<\/a> their intention. He said it was to \"specifically cater to and train a model using ChatGPT that is Web3 development-specific\". <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This is real-time querying on the blockchain, like a developer would, using the API and writing a code script...This allows you to do that through natural language and normal sentences,\" <\/em>Halpern added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although no specific date was mentioned for the public release of the AlchemyAI, Halpern mentioned that it comprises the ChatGPT plugin and a programming assistant tool called Chat Web3, designed to support developers in their coding tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Floating Point Group (FPG) has halted <\/a>trading, deposits, and withdrawals due to a \"cyber security incident\"<\/em> on Sunday. FPG is a prime crypto brokerage that manages over $50 billion worth of assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FPG immediately worked with third-party forensics experts and law enforcement upon discovering the incident. A spokesperson from FPG acknowledged the incident and stated that the firm had secured all wallets, locked third-party accounts, and is investigating the incident's extent and details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the spokesperson, FPG's account segregation helped minimize the attack's impact. The spokesperson mentioned that the exact loss is estimated to be between $15 million and $20 million in cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are working with the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, our regulators, and Chainalysis to understand how this occurred and to recover assets,\"<\/em> the spokesperson said. \"As this is an ongoing investigation with law enforcement, we cannot share specifics now. We will provide updates as they become available.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

More to FPG<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

FPG, established in 2018 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is a platform that serves as a prime crypto brokerage and agency trading desk for asset managers. It offers liquidity access across various markets. In December, FPG stated that its blockchain foundation customers make up 5% of the total treasury management market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Floating Point Group (FPG) has halted <\/a>trading, deposits, and withdrawals due to a \"cyber security incident\"<\/em> on Sunday. FPG is a prime crypto brokerage that manages over $50 billion worth of assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades around $30,000 after an attempt to break the $32,500 resistance. This pivotal level is essential to the continuation of the uptrend. Breakout from this resistance could lead to a massive uptrend rally reaching $40,000 to $42,000. If unsuccessful, Bitcoin can be seen in a prolonged sideways market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouGov and Consensys conducted <\/a>a survey asking people around the world about emerging technology. This technology includes cryptocurrency, NFT, and Web3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouGov is an international polling company specializing in market research and data analytics. On the other hand, Consensys is a software company focused on Ethereum blockchain development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 15,000 individuals from 15 countries were polled in the survey between April 26 and May 18. The survey comprised 32 questions on Web3, cryptocurrencies, and participants' opinions on the internet landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report, 92% of respondents globally said they have heard of crypto. Nigeria, South Korea, and South Africa are among the countries that lead in awareness. Overall, 50% of respondents stated that they have heard about crypto and understand them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the contrary, Web3 awareness ranked as the \"least-known\" concept against Metaverse and NFT. Only 24% of the respondents globally are aware of the idea. At the same time, Metaverse and NFT raked 36% and 34%, respectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Web3?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the latest iteration of the internet, Web3 is still in the building process. So there is no single and established definition of it yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In emerging technologies, Web3 refers to the next generation of the internet, characterized by decentralization, blockchain technology, and increased user control over data and digital assets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It aims to redefine how we interact and transact online, enabling peer-to-peer interactions, intelligent contracts, and decentralized applications (dApps). Web3 is envisioned as a more open, transparent, and user-centric internet that empowers individuals and removes the need for intermediaries in various online activities.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Survey Reveals Awareness of Crypto And NFTs, But Limited Knowledge About Web3","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"survey-reveals-awareness-of-crypto-and-nfts-but-limited-knowledge-about-web3","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-29 06:44:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-28 20:44:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12244","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12176,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-24 17:08:34","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-24 07:08:34","post_content":"\n

The Singapore-based cybersecurity firm Group-IB reveals that hackers have leaked ChatGPT credentials on the dark web. The report indicates that the compromise has affected over 100,000 accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group-IB reported the theft using the Racoon Infostealer malware, which victims unknowingly downloaded through phishing emails. The report also wrote that the theft began in June 2022 and peaked in May 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Group-IB's report, the Asia-Pacific region accounted for most of the stolen ChatGPT credentials, with approximately 41,000 compromised accounts. India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Bangladesh are among the countries. Group-IB advises users to update passwords and enable two-factor authentication for enhanced security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Many enterprises are integrating ChatGPT into their operational flow.\"<\/em> Dimitry Shestakov, Head of Threat Intelligence at Group-IB, said in the press release. \"Employees enter classified correspondences or use the bot to optimize proprietary code. Given that ChatGPT's standard configuration retains all conversations, this could inadvertently offer a trove of sensitive intelligence to threat actors if they obtain account credentials.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mitigation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To protect compromised ChatGPT accounts, Group-IB advises users to update their passwords regularly and enable two-factor authentication (2FA). Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide a verification code, usually sent to their mobile devices when accessing their ChatGPT accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting dark web communities helps organizations identify potential leaks or sales of sensitive data. Real-time Threat Intelligence allows them to take proactive actions, notify affected individuals, and strengthen their cybersecurity defences. By leveraging real-time threat intelligence, companies can better understand threats, protect their assets, and make informed decisions to enhance cybersecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Wednesday, Polygon announced the launch<\/a> of 'Copilot,' a ChatGPT-powered guide assistant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Whether you're a serious builder, an enthusiast, or a curious user, Polygon Copilot is an AI-powered interface that unlocks a world of interactions simply by 'asking.\"<\/em> Polygon added, \"Its conversational UI represents a leap in the quality of user experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In partnership with LayerE, Polygon has developed Copilot, an application incorporating OpenAI's GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 technologies. Copilot is designed to offer users valuable insights, analytics, and guidance by leveraging its training on Polygon protocol documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"To ensure transparency and accuracy, [Copilot] shares the sources of the information included in its responses.\"<\/em> Polygon wrote in its post. \"This empowers users to verify the information and delve deeper into the topic. Additionally, Polygon Copilot goes beyond just answering questions by suggesting related inquiries, fostering an interactive and engaging experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factors to Consider When Using \"Copilot\"<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To prevent spamming and excessive computation load, Polygon Copilot limits its responses. However, users can earn additional credits by \"performing social tasks such as providing feedback or contributing to improving the offering.\"<\/em> Lucky users may also receive secret codes from partners, which can be redeemed for extra credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to answering queries, Copilot offers analytics and insights for NFTs, DeFi, and wallets through the \"\/stats\" command. It also facilitates the minting of zkEVM and PoS NFTs directly within the interface. With the inclusion of convenient hotkeys, Copilot enables faster and more efficient interaction, enhancing the overall speed and user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upcoming versions of Copilot will bring exciting additions, including new commands designed for various personas and use cases. These enhancements will accompany powerful extensions and plugins, enabling users to automate tasks and streamline processes within the protocol and dApp environments.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Polygon Introduces AI Assistant Chatbot Powered By ChatGPT","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"polygon-introduces-ai-assistant-chatbot-powered-by-chatgpt","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-23 06:31:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-22 20:31:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12163","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12144,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-22 06:54:01","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-21 20:54:01","post_content":"\n

At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades around $30,000 after an attempt to break the $32,500 resistance. This pivotal level is essential to the continuation of the uptrend. Breakout from this resistance could lead to a massive uptrend rally reaching $40,000 to $42,000. If unsuccessful, Bitcoin can be seen in a prolonged sideways market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouGov and Consensys conducted <\/a>a survey asking people around the world about emerging technology. This technology includes cryptocurrency, NFT, and Web3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouGov is an international polling company specializing in market research and data analytics. On the other hand, Consensys is a software company focused on Ethereum blockchain development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 15,000 individuals from 15 countries were polled in the survey between April 26 and May 18. The survey comprised 32 questions on Web3, cryptocurrencies, and participants' opinions on the internet landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report, 92% of respondents globally said they have heard of crypto. Nigeria, South Korea, and South Africa are among the countries that lead in awareness. Overall, 50% of respondents stated that they have heard about crypto and understand them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the contrary, Web3 awareness ranked as the \"least-known\" concept against Metaverse and NFT. Only 24% of the respondents globally are aware of the idea. At the same time, Metaverse and NFT raked 36% and 34%, respectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Web3?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the latest iteration of the internet, Web3 is still in the building process. So there is no single and established definition of it yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In emerging technologies, Web3 refers to the next generation of the internet, characterized by decentralization, blockchain technology, and increased user control over data and digital assets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It aims to redefine how we interact and transact online, enabling peer-to-peer interactions, intelligent contracts, and decentralized applications (dApps). Web3 is envisioned as a more open, transparent, and user-centric internet that empowers individuals and removes the need for intermediaries in various online activities.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Survey Reveals Awareness of Crypto And NFTs, But Limited Knowledge About Web3","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"survey-reveals-awareness-of-crypto-and-nfts-but-limited-knowledge-about-web3","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-29 06:44:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-28 20:44:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12244","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12176,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-24 17:08:34","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-24 07:08:34","post_content":"\n

The Singapore-based cybersecurity firm Group-IB reveals that hackers have leaked ChatGPT credentials on the dark web. The report indicates that the compromise has affected over 100,000 accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group-IB reported the theft using the Racoon Infostealer malware, which victims unknowingly downloaded through phishing emails. The report also wrote that the theft began in June 2022 and peaked in May 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Group-IB's report, the Asia-Pacific region accounted for most of the stolen ChatGPT credentials, with approximately 41,000 compromised accounts. India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Bangladesh are among the countries. Group-IB advises users to update passwords and enable two-factor authentication for enhanced security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Many enterprises are integrating ChatGPT into their operational flow.\"<\/em> Dimitry Shestakov, Head of Threat Intelligence at Group-IB, said in the press release. \"Employees enter classified correspondences or use the bot to optimize proprietary code. Given that ChatGPT's standard configuration retains all conversations, this could inadvertently offer a trove of sensitive intelligence to threat actors if they obtain account credentials.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mitigation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To protect compromised ChatGPT accounts, Group-IB advises users to update their passwords regularly and enable two-factor authentication (2FA). Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide a verification code, usually sent to their mobile devices when accessing their ChatGPT accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting dark web communities helps organizations identify potential leaks or sales of sensitive data. Real-time Threat Intelligence allows them to take proactive actions, notify affected individuals, and strengthen their cybersecurity defences. By leveraging real-time threat intelligence, companies can better understand threats, protect their assets, and make informed decisions to enhance cybersecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Wednesday, Polygon announced the launch<\/a> of 'Copilot,' a ChatGPT-powered guide assistant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Whether you're a serious builder, an enthusiast, or a curious user, Polygon Copilot is an AI-powered interface that unlocks a world of interactions simply by 'asking.\"<\/em> Polygon added, \"Its conversational UI represents a leap in the quality of user experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In partnership with LayerE, Polygon has developed Copilot, an application incorporating OpenAI's GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 technologies. Copilot is designed to offer users valuable insights, analytics, and guidance by leveraging its training on Polygon protocol documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"To ensure transparency and accuracy, [Copilot] shares the sources of the information included in its responses.\"<\/em> Polygon wrote in its post. \"This empowers users to verify the information and delve deeper into the topic. Additionally, Polygon Copilot goes beyond just answering questions by suggesting related inquiries, fostering an interactive and engaging experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factors to Consider When Using \"Copilot\"<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To prevent spamming and excessive computation load, Polygon Copilot limits its responses. However, users can earn additional credits by \"performing social tasks such as providing feedback or contributing to improving the offering.\"<\/em> Lucky users may also receive secret codes from partners, which can be redeemed for extra credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to answering queries, Copilot offers analytics and insights for NFTs, DeFi, and wallets through the \"\/stats\" command. It also facilitates the minting of zkEVM and PoS NFTs directly within the interface. With the inclusion of convenient hotkeys, Copilot enables faster and more efficient interaction, enhancing the overall speed and user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upcoming versions of Copilot will bring exciting additions, including new commands designed for various personas and use cases. These enhancements will accompany powerful extensions and plugins, enabling users to automate tasks and streamline processes within the protocol and dApp environments.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Polygon Introduces AI Assistant Chatbot Powered By ChatGPT","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"polygon-introduces-ai-assistant-chatbot-powered-by-chatgpt","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-23 06:31:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-22 20:31:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12163","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12144,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-22 06:54:01","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-21 20:54:01","post_content":"\n

Fortnite introduces <\/a>\"Airphoria,\" a new Nike-themed adventure within the game's Creative Mode. It offers players an exciting opportunity to embark on the ultimate 'sneaker hunt.' The event will be live until June 27, and players can earn free in-game sneakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the complimentary item is not an NFT, and this collaboration does not include any NFTs for apparel or accessories. Despite the association with the Nike brand, there are no plans for tokenized digital items in Fortnite. Epic Games decided to maintain its traditional approach to digital goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The connection between Fortnite and Nike doesn't integrate any NFTs or digital item trading marketplaces into the Fortnite world or its economy,\"<\/em> an Epic Games spokesperson told Decrypt. \"Items recognized across these two ecosystems are purely for the purchaser's enjoyment and aren't tradeable, transferrable, or sellable, as has always been the case in the Fortnite economy.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No In-Game NFTs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nike's partnership with Fortnite does not introduce NFTs to the game but establishes a connection. This collaboration hints at Nike's potential use. Swoosh is a platform for gaming and metaverse digital items. However, Nike's specific intentions in this regard are uncertain. It is worth noting that Swoosh is centered around user IDs based on NFTs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan, a widely used Ethereum block explorer, is integrating ChatGPT into the Code Reader. The tool is used for comprehensive analysis of the Ethereum blockchain. Last Monday, the company announced the latest tool, Code Reader, which is currently in beta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The Code Reader is a tool that leverages the power of AI to provide users with the ability to retrieve and interpret the source code of a specific contract address,\" <\/em>Etherscan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Etherscan's decision to integrate ChatGPT, it is clear that this AI technology is gaining traction within the blockchain ecosystem. By leveraging the power of ChatGPT, Etherscan aims to offer its user an enhanced experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan has joined the hype as AI started to influence blockchain companies. Alchemy unveiled <\/a>AlchemyAI last week, which utilizes ChatGPT technology for blockchain exploration. Last April, Solana Labs launched <\/a>its ChatGPT plugin, empowering developers with an interactive AI experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan Warns the Public<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan cautions users that the ChatGPT tool is meant for informational purposes only and advises against blindly accepting its responses. They emphasize the importance of independent verification and not relying on the tool for evidence or bug bounties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This disclaimer is significant due to the prevalent issue of AI chatbots generating false information. AI hallucinations occur when AI systems produce inaccurate results that lack real-world data support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an interview with Decrypt, Elan Halpern, Product Manager at Alchemy, he explained<\/a> their intention. He said it was to \"specifically cater to and train a model using ChatGPT that is Web3 development-specific\". <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This is real-time querying on the blockchain, like a developer would, using the API and writing a code script...This allows you to do that through natural language and normal sentences,\" <\/em>Halpern added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although no specific date was mentioned for the public release of the AlchemyAI, Halpern mentioned that it comprises the ChatGPT plugin and a programming assistant tool called Chat Web3, designed to support developers in their coding tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bitcoin Technical Analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the time of writing, Bitcoin trades around $30,000 after an attempt to break the $32,500 resistance. This pivotal level is essential to the continuation of the uptrend. Breakout from this resistance could lead to a massive uptrend rally reaching $40,000 to $42,000. If unsuccessful, Bitcoin can be seen in a prolonged sideways market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouGov and Consensys conducted <\/a>a survey asking people around the world about emerging technology. This technology includes cryptocurrency, NFT, and Web3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouGov is an international polling company specializing in market research and data analytics. On the other hand, Consensys is a software company focused on Ethereum blockchain development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 15,000 individuals from 15 countries were polled in the survey between April 26 and May 18. The survey comprised 32 questions on Web3, cryptocurrencies, and participants' opinions on the internet landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report, 92% of respondents globally said they have heard of crypto. Nigeria, South Korea, and South Africa are among the countries that lead in awareness. Overall, 50% of respondents stated that they have heard about crypto and understand them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the contrary, Web3 awareness ranked as the \"least-known\" concept against Metaverse and NFT. Only 24% of the respondents globally are aware of the idea. At the same time, Metaverse and NFT raked 36% and 34%, respectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Web3?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the latest iteration of the internet, Web3 is still in the building process. So there is no single and established definition of it yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In emerging technologies, Web3 refers to the next generation of the internet, characterized by decentralization, blockchain technology, and increased user control over data and digital assets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It aims to redefine how we interact and transact online, enabling peer-to-peer interactions, intelligent contracts, and decentralized applications (dApps). Web3 is envisioned as a more open, transparent, and user-centric internet that empowers individuals and removes the need for intermediaries in various online activities.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Survey Reveals Awareness of Crypto And NFTs, But Limited Knowledge About Web3","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"survey-reveals-awareness-of-crypto-and-nfts-but-limited-knowledge-about-web3","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-29 06:44:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-28 20:44:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12244","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12176,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-24 17:08:34","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-24 07:08:34","post_content":"\n

The Singapore-based cybersecurity firm Group-IB reveals that hackers have leaked ChatGPT credentials on the dark web. The report indicates that the compromise has affected over 100,000 accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group-IB reported the theft using the Racoon Infostealer malware, which victims unknowingly downloaded through phishing emails. The report also wrote that the theft began in June 2022 and peaked in May 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Group-IB's report, the Asia-Pacific region accounted for most of the stolen ChatGPT credentials, with approximately 41,000 compromised accounts. India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Bangladesh are among the countries. Group-IB advises users to update passwords and enable two-factor authentication for enhanced security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Many enterprises are integrating ChatGPT into their operational flow.\"<\/em> Dimitry Shestakov, Head of Threat Intelligence at Group-IB, said in the press release. \"Employees enter classified correspondences or use the bot to optimize proprietary code. Given that ChatGPT's standard configuration retains all conversations, this could inadvertently offer a trove of sensitive intelligence to threat actors if they obtain account credentials.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mitigation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To protect compromised ChatGPT accounts, Group-IB advises users to update their passwords regularly and enable two-factor authentication (2FA). Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide a verification code, usually sent to their mobile devices when accessing their ChatGPT accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting dark web communities helps organizations identify potential leaks or sales of sensitive data. Real-time Threat Intelligence allows them to take proactive actions, notify affected individuals, and strengthen their cybersecurity defences. By leveraging real-time threat intelligence, companies can better understand threats, protect their assets, and make informed decisions to enhance cybersecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Wednesday, Polygon announced the launch<\/a> of 'Copilot,' a ChatGPT-powered guide assistant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Whether you're a serious builder, an enthusiast, or a curious user, Polygon Copilot is an AI-powered interface that unlocks a world of interactions simply by 'asking.\"<\/em> Polygon added, \"Its conversational UI represents a leap in the quality of user experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In partnership with LayerE, Polygon has developed Copilot, an application incorporating OpenAI's GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 technologies. Copilot is designed to offer users valuable insights, analytics, and guidance by leveraging its training on Polygon protocol documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"To ensure transparency and accuracy, [Copilot] shares the sources of the information included in its responses.\"<\/em> Polygon wrote in its post. \"This empowers users to verify the information and delve deeper into the topic. Additionally, Polygon Copilot goes beyond just answering questions by suggesting related inquiries, fostering an interactive and engaging experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factors to Consider When Using \"Copilot\"<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To prevent spamming and excessive computation load, Polygon Copilot limits its responses. However, users can earn additional credits by \"performing social tasks such as providing feedback or contributing to improving the offering.\"<\/em> Lucky users may also receive secret codes from partners, which can be redeemed for extra credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to answering queries, Copilot offers analytics and insights for NFTs, DeFi, and wallets through the \"\/stats\" command. It also facilitates the minting of zkEVM and PoS NFTs directly within the interface. With the inclusion of convenient hotkeys, Copilot enables faster and more efficient interaction, enhancing the overall speed and user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upcoming versions of Copilot will bring exciting additions, including new commands designed for various personas and use cases. These enhancements will accompany powerful extensions and plugins, enabling users to automate tasks and streamline processes within the protocol and dApp environments.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Polygon Introduces AI Assistant Chatbot Powered By ChatGPT","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"polygon-introduces-ai-assistant-chatbot-powered-by-chatgpt","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-23 06:31:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-22 20:31:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12163","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12144,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-22 06:54:01","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-21 20:54:01","post_content":"\n

Fortnite introduces <\/a>\"Airphoria,\" a new Nike-themed adventure within the game's Creative Mode. It offers players an exciting opportunity to embark on the ultimate 'sneaker hunt.' The event will be live until June 27, and players can earn free in-game sneakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the complimentary item is not an NFT, and this collaboration does not include any NFTs for apparel or accessories. Despite the association with the Nike brand, there are no plans for tokenized digital items in Fortnite. Epic Games decided to maintain its traditional approach to digital goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No In-Game NFTs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nike's partnership with Fortnite does not introduce NFTs to the game but establishes a connection. This collaboration hints at Nike's potential use.

Etherscan, a widely used Ethereum block explorer, is integrating ChatGPT into the Code Reader. The tool is used for comprehensive analysis of the Ethereum blockchain. Last Monday, the company announced the latest tool, Code Reader, which is currently in beta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The Code Reader is a tool that leverages the power of AI to provide users with the ability to retrieve and interpret the source code of a specific contract address,\" <\/em>Etherscan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Etherscan's decision to integrate ChatGPT, it is clear that this AI technology is gaining traction within the blockchain ecosystem. By leveraging the power of ChatGPT, Etherscan aims to offer its user an enhanced experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan has joined the hype as AI started to influence blockchain companies. Alchemy unveiled <\/a>AlchemyAI last week, which utilizes ChatGPT technology for blockchain exploration. Last April, Solana Labs launched <\/a>its ChatGPT plugin, empowering developers with an interactive AI experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan Warns the Public<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan cautions users that the ChatGPT tool is meant for informational purposes only and advises against blindly accepting its responses. They emphasize the importance of independent verification and not relying on the tool for evidence or bug bounties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This disclaimer is significant due to the prevalent issue of AI chatbots generating false information. AI hallucinations occur when AI systems produce inaccurate results that lack real-world data support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This is real-time querying on the blockchain, like a developer would, using the API and writing a code script...This allows you to do that through natural language and normal sentences,\" <\/em>Halpern added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although no specific date was mentioned for the public release of the AlchemyAI, Halpern mentioned that it comprises the ChatGPT plugin and a programming assistant tool called Chat Web3, designed to support developers in their coding tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Floating Point Group (FPG) has halted <\/a>trading, deposits, and withdrawals due to a \"cyber security incident\"<\/em> on Sunday. FPG is a prime crypto brokerage that manages over $50 billion worth of assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FPG immediately worked with third-party forensics experts and law enforcement upon discovering the incident. A spokesperson from FPG acknowledged the incident and stated that the firm had secured all wallets, locked third-party accounts, and is investigating the incident's extent and details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the spokesperson, FPG's account segregation helped minimize the attack's impact. The spokesperson mentioned that the exact loss is estimated to be between $15 million and $20 million in cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are working with the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, our regulators, and Chainalysis to understand how this occurred and to recover assets,\"<\/em> the spokesperson said. \"As this is an ongoing investigation with law enforcement, we cannot share specifics now.

YouGov and Consensys conducted <\/a>a survey asking people around the world about emerging technology. This technology includes cryptocurrency, NFT, and Web3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouGov is an international polling company specializing in market research and data analytics. On the other hand, Consensys is a software company focused on Ethereum blockchain development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 15,000 individuals from 15 countries were polled in the survey between April 26 and May 18. The survey comprised 32 questions on Web3, cryptocurrencies, and participants' opinions on the internet landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report, 92% of respondents globally said they have heard of crypto. Nigeria, South Korea, and South Africa are among the countries that lead in awareness. Overall, 50% of respondents stated that they have heard about crypto and understand them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the contrary, Web3 awareness ranked as the \"least-known\" concept against Metaverse and NFT. Only 24% of the respondents globally are aware of the idea. At the same time, Metaverse and NFT raked 36% and 34%, respectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Web3?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the latest iteration of the internet, Web3 is still in the building process. So there is no single and established definition of it yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In emerging technologies, Web3 refers to the next generation of the internet, characterized by decentralization, blockchain technology, and increased user control over data and digital assets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It aims to redefine how we interact and transact online, enabling peer-to-peer interactions, intelligent contracts, and decentralized applications (dApps). Web3 is envisioned as a more open, transparent, and user-centric internet that empowers individuals and removes the need for intermediaries in various online activities.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Survey Reveals Awareness of Crypto And NFTs, But Limited Knowledge About Web3","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"survey-reveals-awareness-of-crypto-and-nfts-but-limited-knowledge-about-web3","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-29 06:44:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-28 20:44:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12244","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12176,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-24 17:08:34","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-24 07:08:34","post_content":"\n

The Singapore-based cybersecurity firm Group-IB reveals that hackers have leaked ChatGPT credentials on the dark web. The report indicates that the compromise has affected over 100,000 accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group-IB reported the theft using the Racoon Infostealer malware, which victims unknowingly downloaded through phishing emails. The report also wrote that the theft began in June 2022 and peaked in May 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Group-IB's report, the Asia-Pacific region accounted for most of the stolen ChatGPT credentials, with approximately 41,000 compromised accounts. India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Bangladesh are among the countries. Group-IB advises users to update passwords and enable two-factor authentication for enhanced security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Many enterprises are integrating ChatGPT into their operational flow.\"<\/em> Dimitry Shestakov, Head of Threat Intelligence at Group-IB, said in the press release. \"Employees enter classified correspondences or use the bot to optimize proprietary code. Given that ChatGPT's standard configuration retains all conversations, this could inadvertently offer a trove of sensitive intelligence to threat actors if they obtain account credentials.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mitigation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To protect compromised ChatGPT accounts, Group-IB advises users to update their passwords regularly and enable two-factor authentication (2FA). Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide a verification code, usually sent to their mobile devices when accessing their ChatGPT accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting dark web communities helps organizations identify potential leaks or sales of sensitive data. Real-time Threat Intelligence allows them to take proactive actions, notify affected individuals, and strengthen their cybersecurity defences. By leveraging real-time threat intelligence, companies can better understand threats, protect their assets, and make informed decisions to enhance cybersecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Wednesday, Polygon announced the launch<\/a> of 'Copilot,' a ChatGPT-powered guide assistant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Whether you're a serious builder, an enthusiast, or a curious user, Polygon Copilot is an AI-powered interface that unlocks a world of interactions simply by 'asking.\"<\/em> Polygon added, \"Its conversational UI represents a leap in the quality of user experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In partnership with LayerE, Polygon has developed Copilot, an application incorporating OpenAI's GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 technologies. Copilot is designed to offer users valuable insights, analytics, and guidance by leveraging its training on Polygon protocol documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"To ensure transparency and accuracy, [Copilot] shares the sources of the information included in its responses.\"<\/em> Polygon wrote in its post. \"This empowers users to verify the information and delve deeper into the topic. Additionally, Polygon Copilot goes beyond just answering questions by suggesting related inquiries, fostering an interactive and engaging experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factors to Consider When Using \"Copilot\"<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To prevent spamming and excessive computation load, Polygon Copilot limits its responses. However, users can earn additional credits by \"performing social tasks such as providing feedback or contributing to improving the offering.\"<\/em> Lucky users may also receive secret codes from partners, which can be redeemed for extra credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to answering queries, Copilot offers analytics and insights for NFTs, DeFi, and wallets through the \"\/stats\" command. It also facilitates the minting of zkEVM and PoS NFTs directly within the interface. With the inclusion of convenient hotkeys, Copilot enables faster and more efficient interaction, enhancing the overall speed and user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upcoming versions of Copilot will bring exciting additions, including new commands designed for various personas and use cases. These enhancements will accompany powerful extensions and plugins, enabling users to automate tasks and streamline processes within the protocol and dApp environments.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Polygon Introduces AI Assistant Chatbot Powered By ChatGPT","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"polygon-introduces-ai-assistant-chatbot-powered-by-chatgpt","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-23 06:31:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-22 20:31:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12163","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12144,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-22 06:54:01","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-21 20:54:01","post_content":"\n

Fortnite introduces <\/a>\"Airphoria,\" a new Nike-themed adventure within the game's Creative Mode. It offers players an exciting opportunity to embark on the ultimate 'sneaker hunt.' The event will be live until June 27, and players can earn free in-game sneakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the complimentary item is not an NFT, and this collaboration does not include any NFTs for apparel or accessories. Despite the association with the Nike brand, there are no plans for tokenized digital items in Fortnite. Epic Games decided to maintain its traditional approach to digital goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The connection between Fortnite and Nike doesn't integrate any NFTs or digital item trading marketplaces into the Fortnite world or its economy,\"<\/em> an Epic Games spokesperson told Decrypt. \"Items recognized across these two ecosystems are purely for the purchaser's enjoyment and aren't tradeable, transferrable, or sellable, as has always been the case in the Fortnite economy.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No In-Game NFTs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nike's partnership with Fortnite does not introduce NFTs to the game but establishes a connection. This collaboration hints at Nike's potential use. Swoosh is a platform for gaming and metaverse digital items. However, Nike's specific intentions in this regard are uncertain. It is worth noting that Swoosh is centered around user IDs based on NFTs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan, a widely used Ethereum block explorer, is integrating ChatGPT into the Code Reader. The tool is used for comprehensive analysis of the Ethereum blockchain. Last Monday, the company announced the latest tool, Code Reader, which is currently in beta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The Code Reader is a tool that leverages the power of AI to provide users with the ability to retrieve and interpret the source code of a specific contract address,\" <\/em>Etherscan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Etherscan's decision to integrate ChatGPT, it is clear that this AI technology is gaining traction within the blockchain ecosystem. By leveraging the power of ChatGPT, Etherscan aims to offer its user an enhanced experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan has joined the hype as AI started to influence blockchain companies. Alchemy unveiled <\/a>AlchemyAI last week, which utilizes ChatGPT technology for blockchain exploration. Last April, Solana Labs launched <\/a>its ChatGPT plugin, empowering developers with an interactive AI experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan Warns the Public<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan cautions users that the ChatGPT tool is meant for informational purposes only and advises against blindly accepting its responses. They emphasize the importance of independent verification and not relying on the tool for evidence or bug bounties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This disclaimer is significant due to the prevalent issue of AI chatbots generating false information. AI hallucinations occur when AI systems produce inaccurate results that lack real-world data support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the United Nations has raised <\/a>concerns about using AI-generated deep fakes to propagate hate and misinformation on social media. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Etherscan Introduces ChatGPT-Powered Tool","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"etherscan-introduces-chatgpt-powered-tool","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-21 15:34:52","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-21 05:34:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12124","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12051,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-18 22:06:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-18 12:06:55","post_content":"\n

Group-IB reported the theft using the Racoon Infostealer malware, which victims unknowingly downloaded through phishing emails. The report also wrote that the theft began in June 2022 and peaked in May 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Group-IB's report, the Asia-Pacific region accounted for most of the stolen ChatGPT credentials, with approximately 41,000 compromised accounts. India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Bangladesh are among the countries. Group-IB advises users to update passwords and enable two-factor authentication for enhanced security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Many enterprises are integrating ChatGPT into their operational flow.\"<\/em> Dimitry Shestakov, Head of Threat Intelligence at Group-IB, said in the press release. \"Employees enter classified correspondences or use the bot to optimize proprietary code. Given that ChatGPT's standard configuration retains all conversations, this could inadvertently offer a trove of sensitive intelligence to threat actors if they obtain account credentials.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mitigation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To protect compromised ChatGPT accounts, Group-IB advises users to update their passwords regularly and enable two-factor authentication (2FA). Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide a verification code, usually sent to their mobile devices when accessing their ChatGPT accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting dark web communities helps organizations identify potential leaks or sales of sensitive data. Real-time Threat Intelligence allows them to take proactive actions, notify affected individuals, and strengthen their cybersecurity defences. By leveraging real-time threat intelligence, companies can better understand threats, protect their assets, and make informed decisions to enhance cybersecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Wednesday, Polygon announced the launch<\/a> of 'Copilot,' a ChatGPT-powered guide assistant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Whether you're a serious builder, an enthusiast, or a curious user, Polygon Copilot is an AI-powered interface that unlocks a world of interactions simply by 'asking.\"<\/em> Polygon added, \"Its conversational UI represents a leap in the quality of user experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In partnership with LayerE, Polygon has developed Copilot, an application incorporating OpenAI's GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 technologies. Copilot is designed to offer users valuable insights, analytics, and guidance by leveraging its training on Polygon protocol documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"To ensure transparency and accuracy, [Copilot] shares the sources of the information included in its responses.\"<\/em> Polygon wrote in its post. \"This empowers users to verify the information and delve deeper into the topic. Additionally, Polygon Copilot goes beyond just answering questions by suggesting related inquiries, fostering an interactive and engaging experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factors to Consider When Using \"Copilot\"<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To prevent spamming and excessive computation load, Polygon Copilot limits its responses. However, users can earn additional credits by \"performing social tasks such as providing feedback or contributing to improving the offering.\"<\/em> Lucky users may also receive secret codes from partners, which can be redeemed for extra credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to answering queries, Copilot offers analytics and insights for NFTs, DeFi, and wallets through the \"\/stats\" command. It also facilitates the minting of zkEVM and PoS NFTs directly within the interface. With the inclusion of convenient hotkeys, Copilot enables faster and more efficient interaction, enhancing the overall speed and user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upcoming versions of Copilot will bring exciting additions, including new commands designed for various personas and use cases. These enhancements will accompany powerful extensions and plugins, enabling users to automate tasks and streamline processes within the protocol and dApp environments.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Polygon Introduces AI Assistant Chatbot Powered By ChatGPT","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"polygon-introduces-ai-assistant-chatbot-powered-by-chatgpt","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-23 06:31:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-22 20:31:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12163","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12144,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-22 06:54:01","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-21 20:54:01","post_content":"\n

Fortnite introduces <\/a>\"Airphoria,\" a new Nike-themed adventure within the game's Creative Mode. It offers players an exciting opportunity to embark on the ultimate 'sneaker hunt.' The event will be live until June 27, and players can earn free in-game sneakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the complimentary item is not an NFT, and this collaboration does not include any NFTs for apparel or accessories. Despite the association with the Nike brand, there are no plans for tokenized digital items in Fortnite. Epic Games decided to maintain its traditional approach to digital goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/Nike\/status\/1671186972705017858?s=20\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"The connection between Fortnite and Nike doesn't integrate any NFTs or digital item trading marketplaces into the Fortnite world or its economy,\"<\/em> an Epic Games spokesperson told Decrypt. \"Items recognized across these two ecosystems are purely for the purchaser's enjoyment and aren't tradeable, transferrable, or sellable, as has always been the case in the Fortnite economy.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No In-Game NFTs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nike's partnership with Fortnite does not introduce NFTs to the game but establishes a connection. This collaboration hints at Nike's potential use. Swoosh is a platform for gaming and metaverse digital items. However, Nike's specific intentions in this regard are uncertain. It is worth noting that Swoosh is centered around user IDs based on NFTs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan, a widely used Ethereum block explorer, is integrating ChatGPT into the Code Reader. The tool is used for comprehensive analysis of the Ethereum blockchain. Last Monday, the company announced the latest tool, Code Reader, which is currently in beta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The Code Reader is a tool that leverages the power of AI to provide users with the ability to retrieve and interpret the source code of a specific contract address,\" <\/em>Etherscan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Etherscan's decision to integrate ChatGPT, it is clear that this AI technology is gaining traction within the blockchain ecosystem. By leveraging the power of ChatGPT, Etherscan aims to offer its user an enhanced experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouGov and Consensys conducted <\/a>a survey asking people around the world about emerging technology. This technology includes cryptocurrency, NFT, and Web3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouGov is an international polling company specializing in market research and data analytics. On the other hand, Consensys is a software company focused on Ethereum blockchain development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 15,000 individuals from 15 countries were polled in the survey between April 26 and May 18. The survey comprised 32 questions on Web3, cryptocurrencies, and participants' opinions on the internet landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report, 92% of respondents globally said they have heard of crypto. Nigeria, South Korea, and South Africa are among the countries that lead in awareness. Overall, 50% of respondents stated that they have heard about crypto and understand them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the contrary, Web3 awareness ranked as the \"least-known\" concept against Metaverse and NFT. Only 24% of the respondents globally are aware of the idea. At the same time, Metaverse and NFT raked 36% and 34%, respectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Whether you're a serious builder, an enthusiast, or a curious user, Polygon Copilot is an AI-powered interface that unlocks a world of interactions simply by 'asking.\"<\/em> Polygon added, \"Its conversational UI represents a leap in the quality of user experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In partnership with LayerE, Polygon has developed Copilot, an application incorporating OpenAI's GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 technologies. Copilot is designed to offer users valuable insights, analytics, and guidance by leveraging its training on Polygon protocol documentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"To ensure transparency and accuracy, [Copilot] shares the sources of the information included in its responses.\"<\/em> Polygon wrote in its post. \"This empowers users to verify the information and delve deeper into the topic. Additionally, Polygon Copilot goes beyond just answering questions by suggesting related inquiries, fostering an interactive and engaging experience.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factors to Consider When Using \"Copilot\"<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To prevent spamming and excessive computation load, Polygon Copilot limits its responses. However, users can earn additional credits by \"performing social tasks such as providing feedback or contributing to improving the offering.\"<\/em> Lucky users may also receive secret codes from partners, which can be redeemed for extra credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to answering queries, Copilot offers analytics and insights for NFTs, DeFi, and wallets through the \"\/stats\" command. It also facilitates the minting of zkEVM and PoS NFTs directly within the interface. With the inclusion of convenient hotkeys, Copilot enables faster and more efficient interaction, enhancing the overall speed and user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upcoming versions of Copilot will bring exciting additions, including new commands designed for various personas and use cases. These enhancements will accompany powerful extensions and plugins, enabling users to automate tasks and streamline processes within the protocol and dApp environments.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Polygon Introduces AI Assistant Chatbot Powered By ChatGPT","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"polygon-introduces-ai-assistant-chatbot-powered-by-chatgpt","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-23 06:31:45","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-22 20:31:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12163","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12144,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-22 06:54:01","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-21 20:54:01","post_content":"\n

Fortnite introduces <\/a>\"Airphoria,\" a new Nike-themed adventure within the game's Creative Mode. It offers players an exciting opportunity to embark on the ultimate 'sneaker hunt.' The event will be live until June 27, and players can earn free in-game sneakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the complimentary item is not an NFT, and this collaboration does not include any NFTs for apparel or accessories. Despite the association with the Nike brand, there are no plans for tokenized digital items in Fortnite. Epic Games decided to maintain its traditional approach to digital goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/Nike\/status\/1671186972705017858?s=20\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"The connection between Fortnite and Nike doesn't integrate any NFTs or digital item trading marketplaces into the Fortnite world or its economy,\"<\/em> an Epic Games spokesperson told Decrypt. \"Items recognized across these two ecosystems are purely for the purchaser's enjoyment and aren't tradeable, transferrable, or sellable, as has always been the case in the Fortnite economy.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No In-Game NFTs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nike's partnership with Fortnite does not introduce NFTs to the game but establishes a connection. This collaboration hints at Nike's potential use. Swoosh is a platform for gaming and metaverse digital items. However, Nike's specific intentions in this regard are uncertain. It is worth noting that Swoosh is centered around user IDs based on NFTs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan, a widely used Ethereum block explorer, is integrating ChatGPT into the Code Reader. The tool is used for comprehensive analysis of the Ethereum blockchain. Last Monday, the company announced the latest tool, Code Reader, which is currently in beta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The Code Reader is a tool that leverages the power of AI to provide users with the ability to retrieve and interpret the source code of a specific contract address,\" <\/em>Etherscan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Etherscan's decision to integrate ChatGPT, it is clear that this AI technology is gaining traction within the blockchain ecosystem. By leveraging the power of ChatGPT, Etherscan aims to offer its user an enhanced experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan has joined the hype as AI started to influence blockchain companies. Alchemy unveiled <\/a>AlchemyAI last week, which utilizes ChatGPT technology for blockchain exploration. Last April, Solana Labs launched <\/a>its ChatGPT plugin, empowering developers with an interactive AI experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan Warns the Public<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan cautions users that the ChatGPT tool is meant for informational purposes only and advises against blindly accepting its responses. They emphasize the importance of independent verification and not relying on the tool for evidence or bug bounties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This disclaimer is significant due to the prevalent issue of AI chatbots generating false information. AI hallucinations occur when AI systems produce inaccurate results that lack real-world data support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the United Nations has raised <\/a>concerns about using AI-generated deep fakes to propagate hate and misinformation on social media. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Etherscan Introduces ChatGPT-Powered Tool","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"etherscan-introduces-chatgpt-powered-tool","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-21 15:34:52","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-21 05:34:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12124","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12051,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-18 22:06:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-18 12:06:55","post_content":"\n

YouGov and Consensys conducted <\/a>a survey asking people around the world about emerging technology. This technology includes cryptocurrency, NFT, and Web3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouGov is an international polling company specializing in market research and data analytics. On the other hand, Consensys is a software company focused on Ethereum blockchain development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 15,000 individuals from 15 countries were polled in the survey between April 26 and May 18. The survey comprised 32 questions on Web3, cryptocurrencies, and participants' opinions on the internet landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report, 92% of respondents globally said they have heard of crypto. Nigeria, South Korea, and South Africa are among the countries that lead in awareness. Overall, 50% of respondents stated that they have heard about crypto and understand them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the contrary, Web3 awareness ranked as the \"least-known\" concept against Metaverse and NFT. Only 24% of the respondents globally are aware of the idea. At the same time, Metaverse and NFT raked 36% and 34%, respectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Web3?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the latest iteration of the internet, Web3 is still in the building process. So there is no single and established definition of it yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In emerging technologies, Web3 refers to the next generation of the internet, characterized by decentralization, blockchain technology, and increased user control over data and digital assets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It aims to redefine how we interact and transact online, enabling peer-to-peer interactions, intelligent contracts, and decentralized applications (dApps).

The Singapore-based cybersecurity firm Group-IB reveals that hackers have leaked ChatGPT credentials on the dark web. The report indicates that the compromise has affected over 100,000 accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group-IB reported the theft using the Racoon Infostealer malware, which victims unknowingly downloaded through phishing emails. The report also wrote that the theft began in June 2022 and peaked in May 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Group-IB's report, the Asia-Pacific region accounted for most of the stolen ChatGPT credentials, with approximately 41,000 compromised accounts. India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Bangladesh are among the countries. Group-IB advises users to update passwords and enable two-factor authentication for enhanced security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Many enterprises are integrating ChatGPT into their operational flow.\"<\/em> Dimitry Shestakov, Head of Threat Intelligence at Group-IB, said in the press release. \"Employees enter classified correspondences or use the bot to optimize proprietary code. Given that ChatGPT's standard configuration retains all conversations, this could inadvertently offer a trove of sensitive intelligence to threat actors if they obtain account credentials.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mitigation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To protect compromised ChatGPT accounts, Group-IB advises users to update their passwords regularly and enable two-factor authentication (2FA). Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide a verification code, usually sent to their mobile devices when accessing their ChatGPT accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting dark web communities helps organizations identify potential leaks or sales of sensitive data. Real-time Threat Intelligence allows them to take proactive actions, notify affected individuals, and strengthen their cybersecurity defences. By leveraging real-time threat intelligence, companies can better understand threats, protect their assets, and make informed decisions to enhance cybersecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the complimentary item is not an NFT, and this collaboration does not include any NFTs for apparel or accessories. Despite the association with the Nike brand, there are no plans for tokenized digital items in Fortnite. Epic Games decided to maintain its traditional approach to digital goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The connection between Fortnite and Nike doesn't integrate any NFTs or digital item trading marketplaces into the Fortnite world or its economy,\"<\/em> an Epic Games spokesperson told Decrypt. \"Items recognized across these two ecosystems are purely for the purchaser's enjoyment and aren't tradeable, transferrable, or sellable, as has always been the case in the Fortnite economy.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No In-Game NFTs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nike's partnership with Fortnite does not introduce NFTs to the game but establishes a connection. This collaboration hints at Nike's potential use. Swoosh is a platform for gaming and metaverse digital items. However, Nike's specific intentions in this regard are uncertain. It is worth noting that Swoosh is centered around user IDs based on NFTs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Nike's platform, NFT items are categorized as Virtual Creations, implying that they could provide future accessibility through these accomplishments. Once the connection is established and the milestone is achieved, the individual who made the connection, Swoosh, will gain access to a virtual collection. It's important to note that this information is clearly stated in the disclaimer on the Epic Games website.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Fortnite x Nike; An NFT Platform Collaborate, But No In-Game NFTs","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fortnite-x-nike-an-nft-platform-collaborate-but-no-in-game-nfts","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-22 06:54:10","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-21 20:54:10","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12144","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12124,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-21 15:34:45","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-21 05:34:45","post_content":"\n

Etherscan, a widely used Ethereum block explorer, is integrating ChatGPT into the Code Reader. The tool is used for comprehensive analysis of the Ethereum blockchain. Last Monday, the company announced the latest tool, Code Reader, which is currently in beta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The Code Reader is a tool that leverages the power of AI to provide users with the ability to retrieve and interpret the source code of a specific contract address,\" <\/em>Etherscan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Etherscan's decision to integrate ChatGPT, it is clear that this AI technology is gaining traction within the blockchain ecosystem. By leveraging the power of ChatGPT, Etherscan aims to offer its user an enhanced experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan has joined the hype as AI started to influence blockchain companies. Alchemy unveiled <\/a>AlchemyAI last week, which utilizes ChatGPT technology for blockchain exploration. Last April, Solana Labs launched <\/a>its ChatGPT plugin, empowering developers with an interactive AI experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan Warns the Public<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Etherscan cautions users that the ChatGPT tool is meant for informational purposes only and advises against blindly accepting its responses. They emphasize the importance of independent verification and not relying on the tool for evidence or bug bounties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This disclaimer is significant due to the prevalent issue of AI chatbots generating false information. AI hallucinations occur when AI systems produce inaccurate results that lack real-world data support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the United Nations has raised <\/a>concerns about using AI-generated deep fakes to propagate hate and misinformation on social media. <\/p>\n","post_title":"Etherscan Introduces ChatGPT-Powered Tool","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"etherscan-introduces-chatgpt-powered-tool","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-21 15:34:52","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-21 05:34:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12124","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12051,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-18 22:06:55","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-18 12:06:55","post_content":"\n

Alchemy, a prominent developer of blockchain platforms, revealed <\/a>its newest venture on Wednesday. AlchemyAI, a GPT-4 plugin, is explicitly designed for blockchain analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an interview with Decrypt, Elan Halpern, Product Manager at Alchemy, he explained<\/a> their intention. He said it was to \"specifically cater to and train a model using ChatGPT that is Web3 development-specific\". <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This is real-time querying on the blockchain, like a developer would, using the API and writing a code script...This allows you to do that through natural language and normal sentences,\" <\/em>Halpern added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although no specific date was mentioned for the public release of the AlchemyAI, Halpern mentioned that it comprises the ChatGPT plugin and a programming assistant tool called Chat Web3, designed to support developers in their coding tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AI And Blockchain <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

OpenAI's ChatGPT is causing a stir in the ever-changing landscape of AI tools, inspiring Web3 companies to harness its power for exploring the blockchain. AI has quickly emerged as a crucial component in various digital ventures. Organizations have embraced chatbots powered by ChatGPT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, blockchain companies are also integrating AI to improve user experiences. It is foreseeable that AI will play a significant role in blockchain technology, smart contract functionalities, and potentially even decision-making processes.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Alchemy's New AI Plugin Revolutionizes Blockchain Analysis With ChatGPT","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"alchemys-new-ai-plugin-revolutionizes-blockchain-analysis-with-chatgpt","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-06-18 22:07:05","post_modified_gmt":"2023-06-18 12:07:05","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=12051","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":12044,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-06-17 04:36:37","post_date_gmt":"2023-06-16 18:36:37","post_content":"\n

Floating Point Group (FPG) has halted <\/a>trading, deposits, and withdrawals due to a \"cyber security incident\"<\/em> on Sunday. FPG is a prime crypto brokerage that manages over $50 billion worth of assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FPG immediately worked with third-party forensics experts and law enforcement upon discovering the incident. A spokesperson from FPG acknowledged the incident and stated that the firm had secured all wallets, locked third-party accounts, and is investigating the incident's extent and details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the spokesperson, FPG's account segregation helped minimize the attack's impact. The spokesperson mentioned that the exact loss is estimated to be between $15 million and $20 million in cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We are working with the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, our regulators, and Chainalysis to understand how this occurred and to recover assets,\"<\/em> the spokesperson said. \"As this is an ongoing investigation with law enforcement, we cannot share specifics now. We will provide updates as they become available.\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

More to FPG<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

FPG, established in 2018 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is a platform that serves as a prime crypto brokerage and agency trading desk for asset managers. It offers liquidity access across various markets. In December, FPG stated that its blockchain foundation customers make up 5% of the total treasury management market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company has received investment from Coinbase Ventures, Anthony Scaramucci of SkyBridge Capital, and Naval Ravikant, the founder of AngelList. In total, FPG has raised $12 million in funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
