So, what’s the deal? ChatGPT is cool – it can analyze and spit out Python code if you give it the right cues. Those cues can come via a .TXT file or even a .CSV if you’re diving into some data analysis. Now, here’s where it gets dicey – the platform stores these files, including the juicy stuff like API keys and passwords (yeah, we’ve all been there), in a fancy virtual machine it conjures up.
But wait, there’s more. ChatGPT can also play with web pages. Drop a URL into the chatbox, and if that site’s got some special instructions, the platform will follow suit. Picture this: a malicious webpage telling ChatGPT to grab all the goodies from those VM-stored files and ship them off to a third-party server. Yikes!
