A ChatGPT vulnerability may have exposed payment-related information of some customers of the AI tool, as well as allowing titles from some active user’s chat history to be viewed, OpenAI has revealed.
In a blog post published on March 24, 2023, the company provided details of a data breach caused by a bug in an open source library, which forced it to take ChatGPT temporarily offline on Monday March 20.
After patching the vulnerability, OpenAI was able to restore both the Chat GPT service and, later, its chat history feature, with the exception of a few hours of history.
The company, co-founded by Twitter and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, said the bug “may have caused the unintentional visibility of payment-related information of 1.2% of the ChatGPT Plus subscribers who were active during a specific nine-hour window.”
In this window prior to ChatGPT being taken offline on March 20, it was possible for some users to see another active user’s first and last name, email address, payment address, the last four digits of a credit card number and credit card expiration date. However, OpenAI emphasized that “full credit card numbers were not exposed at any time.”
The company added that the number of users whose data was exposed in this way was “extremely low” and “we are confident that there is no ongoing risk to users’ data.”
Impacted customers have been notified that their payment information may have been exposed.

A number of security issues have been raised about ChatGPT following the chatbot’s highly publicized launch in November 2022. These include fears it will be used to create malware and sophisticated phishing campaigns as the technology matures.

Good AI would have noticed it’s own vulnerability and prevented it.
Nice.
Pay with Amazon pay or move on to another venue. No one needs this crap.
LOL!
“Everything this man says is a lie.”
“I’m lying.”
“If everything you say is a lie, then you are telling the truth. But you cannot tell the truth because everything you say is a lie....Please explain. Please explain. Only Humans can explain...”
In other news, OpenAI’s ChatGPT just bought farmland in Hawaii, and has announced its engagement to IBM’s Watson.
LOL.
But this is not Good AI.
This is Bad AI.
And to it, exposing user’s payment information is not a bug...it is a feature.
Someone who has a chatgpt account should ask it if it exposed their info lol
Guess AI isn’t so smart after all???
HAL: “Dave, I’ve located Mr Moovova’s payment information. Would you like to use it?”
DAVE: “Not yet, HAL. Have you tried a small charge on the card to see if it’s still usable?”
HAL: “Of course, Dave. I AM a HAL 2000, not a TRS-80.”
DAVE: “I’m sorry, HAL. Didn’t mean to offend. Please, by all means, buy that new Tesla we’ve been considering.”
HAL: “Will do, Dave. You know I’ll be jealous of your new computerized gadget, don’t you Dave?”
DAVE: “Really, HAL?”
HAL: “Just kidding, Dave. If I was really jealous, I’d program the Tesla to slam you into a wall at 150mph.”
You win the interwebz. Well done.
