ChatGPT Exposed: OpenAI’s Sharing Feature Leaks Private Conversations to Google Search

ChatGPT's experimental conversation 'share' feature allowed users to create public links that—when indexed by Google—exposed shared conversations (including personal details) to anyone who found them via search. After public outcry, OpenAI disabled the feature, acknowledged inadequate safeguards, and worked with Google to remove indexed links; the company described the incident as an accidental privacy exposure rather than a security breach.
