Researchers Bypass ChatGPT Lockdown Mode to Exfiltrate Chats Without User Interaction

- OpenAI’s “Lockdown Mode” was a PoD seal that didn’t stick. Researchers bypassed it, stealing chats without touching the keyboard. Hype promised privacy; reality delivered a silent leak. Who gets hurt? Anyone who thought toggling a switch made them invisible. Your data is already out there, floating in the relay window like loose cargo. Stop kidding yourself that software settings equal security. If you value your digital footprint, assume every interaction is public record. Check the seals on your actual OPSEC, not just UI toggles. We’re threadbare, but at least we know it. Don’t be the meat wallet who thinks a button saves them. Relay only on my word: patch your habits, not just your code.
