ChatGPT User Data Privacy: The speed with which ChatGPT has gained popularity in recent months is astonishing. It is considered very important for future technology development. The ability of AI chatbot is great, but some of its dangers also come to the fore. Politicians and technology experts around the world are constantly warning about the dangers of ChatGPT . A recent report has proved these threats to be true. According to this, the data of more than 1 lakh ChatGPT users has been leaked.
Singapore-based cyber technology company Group-IB claimed that it has identified more than 1 lakh devices. The data of ChatGPT users was saved in these devices. Due to such a large scale cyber attack, questions have been raised on ChatGPT. If this claim is true, then the privacy and security of users on AI chatbots is at risk.
Hackers sold data of ChatGPT users
It has also come to light that cyber attackers have sold the data of ChatGPT users. Most of the cyber attacks have taken place on the users of the Asia-Pacific region. Their data has been sold on the dark web marketplace. Let us tell you that Elon Musk, one of the richest people in the world, has insisted on making regulation to control ChatGPT.
