You would click share then you will see that it will be accessible for everyone with the link. No issues till now, right?</p> <p>Well...accessible to everyone with the link means the chat is literally now accessible to everyone. Search the chat you shared on google and you will find it! 😬</p> <p>Some say it was clear that it would be accessible for everyone but others argue that it should be but only with people having the link, not the entire internet.</p> <p>Ever since that news, and multiple credentials, social security numbers, and API keys were leaked, putting there owners at serious risk.</p> <p>Cybersecurity professionals say it is not really a security vulnerability; it is rather a UX format mistake where it is not very clear what "accessible" means.</p> <p>What about you? Do you think it is a vulnerability or just a misunderstanding and wrong design from both the users and Anthropic?</p> claude ai programming security
