Using AI Chatbots to examine leaked data 

This report advocates for securely deploying internal AI chatbots (preferably on-prem/open‑source models) to support forensic and cybersecurity functions such as alert triage, incident response, SOC assistance, training, secure coding guidance, and threat intelligence summarization, with strict data handling and audit controls. It highlights LockBitGPT—a closed system built to analyze the LockBit ransomware gang’s leaked data—as an example of how AI can accelerate research, while emphasizing that AI outputs must be validated against raw datasets to prevent errors and preserve analytical integrity.
