Madhu Gottumukkala, Acting Director and Deputy Director of the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), reportedly uploaded “sensitive” documents to a public version of ChatGPT in 2025, reported Politico, citing four officials from the Department of Homeland Security.
The agency’s policy is to block access to ChatGPT by default unless an exception is granted, reported the outlet.
