Y’all! Personal friend of Kristy PuppyKiller #Noem, a completely unqualified #infosec wannabe, who couldn’t pass pen testeing, or a polygraph saying he didn’t want to sell data; the director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency ( #CISA), Madhu #Gottumukkala, uploaded sensitive information to a public version of #ChatGPT, because of course he fucking did.

The info leaked was marked “for official use only.” That designation is used within #DHS to identify information of a sensitive nature that, if shared, could adversely impact a person’s privacy or welfare or impede how federal and other programs essential to the national interest operate.

There’s now a concern that the sensitive info could be used to answer prompts from any of ChatGPT’s 700 million users. Critics have questioned whether Gottumukkala knows what he’s doing.

Gee, ya think?

Ars Technica

US cyber defense chief accidentally uploaded secret government info to ChatGPT

Congress recently grilled the acting chief on mass layoffs and a failed polygraph.
