The Cybersecurity of ChatGPT
And, so, ChatGPT has become a target for cybersecurity attacks. Recently, it was identified that a bug in its open source library caused a data breach, and where recently was “put to sleep” for a while:
Actually, although is says that the data breach levels are low, a figure of 1.3% could put the number of users breached at nearly one million. The targeted library is related to the Redis open-source library and opened up the chat history of active users. In the code, Redis is used to clear a user cache of messages and replies.
In fact, software supply chain attacks are one of the fast-growing routes to compromise. But, the data breach was only a small part of the possible vulnerabilities, as the OpenAI team found that it may have been responsible for revealing payment information in the hours before they took it offline. These details did not expose the full credit card details, but only the last four digits of the credit card number and credit card expiration date. But, under GDPR, this could be seen as a significant data breach.
