Yesterday i had tons of API requests in my OpenAI ChatGPT account, not made by me, charging me now 42$. I dont understand what happened, that wasnt me. I wrote with a “Hacker” who told me: “your account is compromised already. Via a malicious links. And for your info it’s gonna be terminated very …

You’ve likely installed some fake GPT app and put your info into it, or some scammy Chrome extension that steals credentials. MalwareBytes, besides obviously cleaning off any silly extensions or apps you were fooled into using. Then you waste as much of the “hacker’s” time as possible.
