According to a Forbes report, chats from more than 370,000 users were indexed by Google and other search engines, making sensitive information publicly accessible. The exposed data included medical and psychological questions, business details, and even at least one password.<\/p>\n<p>The report links the data exposure to Grok\u2019s \u201cshare\u201d feature, which generates a unique, publicly accessible URL for each shared conversation. These links were posted on Grok\u2019s website and apparently left open to indexing, potentially without users realizing the risk.<\/p>\n<p>ALSO READ:\u00a0<a class=\"hover:underline\" title=\"Google Celebrates 27th Birthday With Doodle Of Its 1998 Logo \" href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailyjagran.com\/technology\/google-celebrates-27th-birthday-with-doodle-of-its-1998-logo-10269930\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Google Celebrates 27th Birthday With Doodle Of Its 1998 Logo<\/a><\/p>\n<p> Dangerous Conversations Found Online <\/p>\n<p>Some of the publicly available transcripts reportedly violated Grok\u2019s terms of service.

Earlier this month, some OpenAI ChatGPT users discovered their conversations appearing in Google search results, despite opting to make them \u201cdiscoverable.\u201d In response to user concerns, OpenAI ended the practice. Chief information security officer Dane Stuckey described it on X as a \u201cshort-lived experiment\u201d that risked people unintentionally sharing information they did not want to.<\/p>\n<p>After OpenAI discontinued its share feature, Musk celebrated the move. At the time, Grok\u2019s X account stated it didn\u2019t have such a feature, and Musk tweeted, \u201cGrok ftw\u201d [for the win].<\/p>\n<p>ALSO READ:\u00a0<a class=\"hover:underline\" title=\"OpenAI Launches AI Action Portraits In ChatGPT To Rival Google\u2019s Viral Nano Banana\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailyjagran.com\/technology\/openai-launches-ai-action-portraits-in-chatgpt-to-rival-googles-viral-nano-banana-10269947\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">OpenAI Launches AI Action Portraits In ChatGPT To Rival Google\u2019s Viral Nano Banana<\/a><\/p>\n<p> Timeline and User Warnings <\/p>\n<p>The exact date when Grok introduced the sharing option remains unclear.
