Open AI announced a new feature that it says will provide additional protection against fast injection attacks, where malicious chatbot instructions are hidden in web pages and other content sources.
Among other things, Lockdown Mode will disable live web browsing (so you can only access cached content), retrieving and displaying images from the web (you can still generate images), deep investigation, and agent mode.
The company says that even with blocking mode enabled, ChatGPT could still be vulnerable to fast injections, which could, for example, “appear in cached web content or an uploaded file, and could still affect the behavior or accuracy of a response.”
But the goal is to reduce the likelihood of sensitive data being shared in the process.
“The locking mode is No “It is intended for everyone,” says OpenAI. “It is designed for individuals and organizations that handle sensitive data and want stronger protection against data breach risks related to rapid injection.”
The company says it is currently rolling out lockdown mode for self-service ChatGPT business accounts, as well as eligible personal accounts.
