State-sponsored hackers from countries like Iran, China, and North Korea are increasingly using Gemini chatbot for cyberattacks, according to Google report.

(Reuters) - Russia signed a strategic partnership treaty with Iran on Friday that follows similar pacts with China and North Korea. All three countries are adversaries of the United States, and Russia has used its ties with them to help blunt the impact of Western sanctions and boost its war effort in Ukraine.

Hacking units from Iran abused Gemini the most, but North Korean and Chinese groups also tried their luck. None made any 'breakthroughs' and mostly used Gemini for mundane tasks.

In recent months, a troubling discovery has been made about how North Korean hackers are using advanced AI tools to carry out cybercrimes and espionage. According to a report by Google, the North Korean government-backed cybercriminals have been using a powerful AI system called Google Gemini to enhance their hacking operations.
