Samsung Electronics

Samsung suffered a data breach incident in April 2023 after Samsung employees have shared internal documents, including meeting notes and source code, with the popular chatbot service ChatGPT.

The organisation had three data leaks as a result of its staff members disclosing private information using ChatGPT.

Samsung Electronics is alerting staff members to the potential dangers of using ChatGPT and emphasising that there is no way to stop the disclosure of the information submitted to OpenAI's chatbot service.
