OpenAI API User Data Exposed in Mixpanel Security Breach, Investigation Launched
In a recent security incident, OpenAI confirmed that a data breach involving its analytics partner, Mixpanel, exposed some user information. The breach occurred on November 9 when a threat actor infiltrated Mixpanel’s systems, though critical data like passwords and payment details remained secure. Exposed user profile data included names, email addresses, coarse location data, and browser information. OpenAI has removed Mixpanel from its production environment and is advising potentially affected API users to remain vigilant against phishing attempts.
