AI-powered chatbots have become essential in daily life, handling everything from customer service to personal tasks. Their convenience leads many to share sensitive data without hesitation. But the recent OmniGPT data breach is a stark reminder of the risks involved.

A hacker reportedly exposed 30,000 users’ personal data, including emails, phone numbers, and 34 million conversation logs—some containing credentials, billing details, and API keys. This isn’t just a security lapse; it’s a direct blow to user trust.

As AI chatbots continue to shape our digital world, their security must keep pace. The real question now isn’t how useful they are—but whether they can truly protect the data we entrust to them.

Find out how Skyhigh Security can help you harness the power of AI while protecting your data. Read our most recent Intelligence Digest.
