Trump’s Cyber Security Head Uploads Sensitive Materials to ChatGPT
A recent report reveals that Madhu Gottumukkala, the head of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, uploaded “sensitive” contracting materials to a public version of ChatGPT, triggering an internal review. The documents, marked “for official use only,” were not classified but were considered sensitive and should not have been released publicly, which triggered automated alerts. Despite Gottumukkala having special permission to use ChatGPT, the incident prompted a review by top DHS officials to assess potential harm, with the results still unknown. This event occurred amid the widespread adoption of AI in the workplace, highlighting the increasing need for careful handling of sensitive information.
