While most people have heard of ChatGPT, a new threat called SpamGPT is now making headlines. Security researchers at Varonis have discovered that this professional-grade email campaign tool is designed specifically for cybercriminals. The platform, they report, offers “all the conveniences a Fortune 500 marketer might expect, but adapted for cybercrime.”
SpamGPT’s dashboard closely mimics legitimate email marketing software, allowing attackers to plan, schedule, and track large-scale spam and phishing campaigns with minimal effort. By embedding AI-powered features, the tool can craft realistic phishing emails, optimize subject lines, and fine-tune scams—making it accessible even to criminals with little technical background.
“SpamGPT is essentially a CRM for cybercriminals, automating phishing at scale, personalizing attacks with stolen data, and optimizing conversion rates much like a seasoned marketer would. It’s also a chilling reminder that threat actors are embracing AI tools just as fast as defenders are,” explained Rob Sobers, CMO at Varonis.
