Malwarebytes, a global leader in cybersecurity, has launched Malwarebytes in ChatGPT, a groundbreaking solution designed to provide individuals and small businesses with fast, reliable security guidance directly within ChatGPT. By simply asking “Malwarebytes,” users can determine whether a message, link, or online interaction is potentially a scam or spam, leveraging the company’s decades of threat intelligence and deep cybersecurity expertise. This integration represents a significant step in building trust in AI by combining Malwarebytes’ human-driven intelligence with the convenience of ChatGPT.
The urgency of this innovation cannot be overstated. Scams have evolved into a worldwide crisis, costing consumers a staggering $442 billion over the past year, according to the Global State of Scams 2025 report by GASA a figure that has surged more than 600% in just four years. Meanwhile, the World Economic Forum estimates that only 0.05% of cybercrimes face prosecution, highlighting the persistent challenge scams pose to both individuals and organizations. In response, Malwarebytes aims to tackle this problem head-on through technological innovation, industry collaboration, investigative research, and direct human support.
