A bug revealed ChatGPT users' chat history, personal and billing data - Help Net Security

A vulnerability in the redis-py open-source library was at the root of last week's ChatGPT data leak, OpenAI has confirmed. Not only were some ChatGPT users able to see what other users have been using the AI chatbot for, but limited personal and billing information ended up getting revealed, as well. ChatGPT suffered an outage on March 20 and then problems with making conversation history accessible to users. "During a nine-hour window on March 20, 2023, another ChatGPT user may have inadvertently seen your billing information when clicking on their own'Manage Subscription' page," OpenAI notified 1.2% of the ChatGPT Plus subscribers via email. "The billing information another user might have seen consisted of your first and last name, billing address, credit card type, credit card expiration date, and the last four digits of your credit card. The information did not include your full credit card number, and we have no evidence that any customer information was viewed by more than one other ChatGPT user."
