Despite being America's top cybersecurity official, a basic technical error was made. Madhu Gottumukkala, the Acting Director of CISA under President Trump, accidentally uploaded government documents marked "Official Use Only" to the public version of ChatGPT. The incident occurred last summer. While most DHS employees are blocked from using ChatGPT due to security concerns, Gottumukkala had obtained special permission to access it. After she uploaded the files, automated security alerts were triggered and officials launched a review. What experts are worried about is that data entered into the public version of ChatGPT may be used to train the AI model, potentially exposing sensitive information to the roughly one billion users worldwide — putting government secrets at risk. CISA claimed Gottumukkala had used it temporarily with authorization. However, Gottumukkala — who only joined CISA in May — is facing a particularly rough stretch: beyond this security breach, she is also dealing with reports that she herself requested and failed a polygraph test.
