- A report suggests that ChatGPT has been leaking private conversations to unrelated individuals.
- These conversations include many sensitive details, such as usernames and passwords, unpublished works, and more.
- OpenAI’s investigation suggests this is not a “leak” of data.
Update, January 30, 2024 (02:20 PM ET): After publishing this article, OpenAI reached out to Android Authority with a statement explaining the situation. The entire statement is posted here, unedited:
ArsTechnica published before our fraud and security teams were able to finish their investigation, and their reporting is unfortunately inaccurate. Based on our findings, the users’ account login credentials were compromised and a bad actor then used the account. The chat history and files being displayed are conversations from misuse of this account, and was not a case of ChatGPT showing another users’ history.
