(Mashable) A ChatGPT bug found earlier this week also revealed user’s payment information, says OpenAI(Opens in a new tab).
The AI chatbot was shut down on March 20, due to a bug that exposed titles and the first message of new conversations from active users’ chat history to other users.
Now, OpenAI has shared that even more private data from a small number of users was exposed.
“In the hours before we took ChatGPT offline on Monday, it was possible for some users to see another active user’s first and last name, email address, payment address, the last four digits (only) of a credit card number, and credit card expiration date,” said OpenAI. “Full credit card numbers were not exposed at any time.”
We took ChatGPT offline Monday to fix a bug in an open source library that allowed some users to see titles from other users’ chat history. Our investigation has also found that 1.2% of ChatGPT Plus users might have had personal data revealed to another user. 1/2
