"President Donald Trump's interim chief of cybersecurity uploaded sensitive documents to a public version of ChatGPT, setting off multiple security alerts and triggering an internal review at the Department of Homeland Security. ChatGPT was blocked for all DHS employees when Madhu Gottumukkala, the Acting Director for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, joined the agency in May of last year."
"The acting director proceeded to upload documents, some of which were marked for official use only, a government label for information considered sensitive and not for public release. These uploads triggered multiple automated alerts, put in place to signal a possible theft or disclosure of government material. Gottumukkala forced CISA's hand into making them give him ChatGPT, and then he abused it, said one of the four DHS officials with knowledge of the incident who spoke to Politico."
The interim chief of cybersecurity uploaded sensitive, officially marked documents to a public ChatGPT, triggering multiple DHS security alerts. ChatGPT access was blocked for all DHS employees when Madhu Gottumukkala joined CISA in May; he requested a special exception from the Chief Information Officer to use the platform. He uploaded documents, some labeled 'official use only', which triggered automated alerts meant to detect possible theft or disclosure of government material. DHS opened an internal investigation; results have not been publicly released. The public ChatGPT instance can use uploaded content in responses to roughly 700 million users, increasing exposure risk. CISA says the exception was short-term and limited and that the platform remains blocked by default unless an exception is granted.
