Discover how AI models like DeepSeek and Qwen are being used in cybercrime, facilitating online fraud and threatening global cybersecurity.
O cibercrime driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI) grows rapidly that's why, increasingly worries the cybersecurity sector. In January 2025, Check Point Software Technologies, a leading digital security company, detected that cybercriminals are migrating from Chat GPT for new generative AI models such as DeepSeek and Qwen, developed by Alibaba.
Therefore, Cybercriminals have been exploiting these AI models using AI jailbreaking techniques. They remove ethical and security constraints so, thus, generate malicious content.
These criminals too create infostealers e develop methods that circumvent online fraud systems e anti-fraud protections.

Enquanto or DeepSeek, launched in October 2024And Qwen, presented by Alibaba em November 2024, offer less resistance to misuse, Chat GPT, created by OpenAI em November 2022, on the other hand, has more robust barriers to prevent abuse.
Cybercriminals, especially those with little technical experience, take advantage of the ease of access to these tools. and thus, expand the spectrum of cyber threats.
Furthermore, the Check Point warns that uncensored versions of these AI models are likely to become increasingly common on underground forums and the dark webOr this increases the risk for individuals and companies.
As a result, the The rise of cybercrime poses constant challenges for cybersecurity professionals, which, therefore, need to adapt their strategies to combat these new threats.
The Impact of Generative AI on Digital Security
A Modern cybersecurity requires advanced solutions and constant monitoring of these new technologies.
For this reason, the Malicious use of generative AI reinforces the need for stricter regulation and collaboration between technology companies, governments and security experts.
Additionally, we bring Raising public awareness about the risks associated with online fraud and the misuse of artificial intelligence becomes essential to reduce negative impacts.
With advance of cybercrime and the popularization of models such as DeepSeek and Qwen, organizations therefore need to invest in robust cybersecurity solutions e stay up to date on emerging trends in the use of AI for criminal activities.
In this sense, the constant vigilance and technological innovation offer the best weapons against these digital threats.
