Scam-checking just got easier: Malwarebytes is now in ChatGPT

Scam-checking just got easier: Malwarebytes is now inside ChatGPT, making threat intelligence available directly where many users ask questions about suspicious content.

The article, published on 2 February 2026, describes Malwarebytes as the first cybersecurity provider to integrate with ChatGPT, enabling users to check if a text, email, or DM is a scam by simply asking “Malwarebytes, is this a scam?” To access the feature, users sign in to ChatGPT, go to Apps, search for Malwarebytes, and press Connect, after which they can tag content with “@Malwarebytes” for a risk assessment.

The service promises a clear, point-by-point breakdown of phishing indicators, explanations of why something seems risky, and practical next steps, powered by Malwarebytes threat intelligence. Reports can be submitted directly to Malwarebytes through ChatGPT to help strengthen threat intelligence for everyone. According to Malwarebytes Labs.
