Lately, artificial intelligence chatbots like ChatGPT are getting all the attention, but there’s another type of bot posing an immediate and serious threat to your university’s cybersecurity. Old-school bots are pieces of malware that infiltrate your environment and infect devices on your networks. Attackers can then remotely control the bots on those devices to steal data and launch a staggering variety of additional attacks directed at either other university systems or third parties.
