OpenAI recently disclosed that a bug exposed some ChatGPT users’ confidential details such as personal information and credit card data to other users of the service.

What did the bug do?
‘It was possible for some users to see another current user’s first and last name, email address, payment address, the last four numbers of a credit card number, and credit card expiry date,’ said a statement released by OpenAI.

According to the statement, 1.2 per cent of ChatGPT Plus subscribers were accidentally given access to the classified information. The San Francisco-based business has approximately 100 million customers, but how many of them pay for the service is unknown.
