Details on the ongoing ChatGPT security disaster have been posted by Dan Goodin, one of my favorite and most trusted tech reporters.

“I went to make a query (in this case, help coming up with clever names for colors in a palette) and when I returned to access moments later, I noticed the additional conversations,” Whiteside wrote in an email. “They weren’t there when I used ChatGPT just last night (I’m a pretty heavy user). No queries were made—they just appeared in my history, and most certainly aren’t from me (and I don’t think they’re from the same user either).”

As I presented at last year’s RSA conference in SF, using ChatGPT brings with it a critical integrity vulnerability. If your “history” is artificially generated by the software company, how would you prove it wasn’t/isn’t yours?
