Some people's chats with Claude AI found publicly available online
Hundreds of conversations between users and Anthropic's Claude chatbot were found to be publicly accessible online. The extent of the exposure and how long the chats were available is not yet clear from available reporting.
Why this matters: When you type something into a chatbot, you probably assume it stays between you and the service. People use these tools for sensitive things — health questions, legal problems, relationship issues, work decisions. If those conversations were publicly reachable, that is not a minor bug. It is a breach of the basic expectation that makes the product usable. Anthropic needs to explain exactly what was exposed, how it happened, and who might have seen it.
