To a query about the Silicon Valley Bank crisis and the Indian government’s role to mitigate the woes of startups, Chandrasekhar said, “The Indian banking system is much more resilient and stronger in comparison to any other country’s banking system. Startups should therefore opt for Indian banks as their preferred banking partners.”

Chatgpt: How ChatGPT Bug exposed more than just users’ chat history, including credit card details

Published

By

The information that the ChatGPT bug exposed during an outage earlier this week was more than just chat history. On March 20, Microsoft-backed OpenAI temporarily disabled ChatGPT earlier to fix a bug that allowed some users to see the titles of other users’ chat history on the popular AI chatbot. Now in an update the company has said that the bug may have been exposed more, this includes some personal data of ChatGPT Plus subscribers, including their payment information.
The payment information that was leaked
“Upon deeper investigation, we also discovered that the same 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 the hours before we took ChatGPT offline on Monday, it was possible for some users to see another active user’s first and last name, email address, payment address, the last four digits (only) of a credit card number, and credit card expiration date. Full credit card numbers were not exposed at any time,” OpenAI said in the update.
It further added that it has reached out to notify affected users that their payment information may have been exposed. It also claimed that there is no ongoing risk to users’ data.
What caused the bug
In a tweet on March 22, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said a significant issue in ChatGPT was the result of a “bug in an open source library.” It said that the “bug was discovered in the Redis client open-source library” that OpenAI uses to cache user information in its server.
The company, however, did not reveal the exact number of people impacted by the big. This technical glitch surely does mean that users need to be cautious of AI tools, including chatbots. Most AI tools are still in beta phase, also with the sudden sharp rise in the number of AI tools in the market, it is not really clear/certain that how many of them have been tested properly as well as come with the due security checks.

Sony has announced a summer promotional offer for the PlayStation 5, where buyers can get a discount of ₹5,000 on all variants of the console. The offer comes after a brief hiatus, with the PS5 now available for purchase across multiple online channels in the country. Initially launched for pre-orders, Sony is now enticing customers with this special discount.

The company is offering a special summer promotional offer for buyers to get ₹5,000 off on all variants of the PS5, which started on April 1 and will only be valid for a limited time. In November, Sony had raised the prices of the PS5 Digital Edition and the standard version to ₹44,990 and ₹54,990, respectively. With this discount, buyers will be able to virtually reverse the price increase.

Recently, restocks of the PlayStation 5 in India have become more frequent, with two pre-orders seen in the country just last month. Additionally, Sony has announced that the console will also be made available for purchase in physical stores, promising better stock availability for customers.

Several websites, such as Sony Center, Amazon India, Flipkart, and e2z Store, have fulfilled Sony’s promise of making the PlayStation 5 more widely available by restocking the console.

According to the legal document, filed with the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of California, Twitter had asked GitHub, an internet hosting service for software development, to take down the code where it was posted. The platform complied and said the content had been disabled, according to the filing. Twitter also asked the court to identify the alleged infringer or infringers who posted Twitter’s source code on systems operated by GitHub without Twitter’s authorization.
