76% Informative

Spammers used OpenAI to generate unique messages that were unique to each recipient.

The spam blast is the work of AkiraBot , a framework that automates the sending of messages in large quantities to promote shady search optimization services.

AkiraBot used python-based scripts to rotate the domain names advertised in the messages.

The messages are delivered through contact forms and live chat widgets embedded into the targeted websites.
