The Target: Samsung, a South Korea based technology company.
The Take: Exposure of internal company documents including: meeting notes and sensitive source code.
The Vector: Samsung employees uploaded sensitive information to ChatGPT, an A.I chat service. ChatGPT takes information provided by users to better answer further questions in the future, and as such, the data uploaded will be provided to third-parties at any time without any controls or user authorization.
This breach is a unique insight into how rapidly the A.I development is proceeding. It is critical that employees be aware of what such services are, and the risks involved. External services like ChatGPT takes information inputted with absolutely no accountability or oversight. Any data sent in this way can be considered open to the public.
