YSK: A Whole Bunch of People’s Claude Chats Are Publicly Accessible Online, and There’s Some Wildly Private Stuff in There
A trove of chat logs created with Anthropic’s Claude (some including sensitive personal and company information) have been left exposed to Google, making them searchable to anyone on the web. Many of them appear to have been made public when users opted to distribute a given chat or project to colleagues or associates using the “share” feature. After hitting the “share” button in the top right corner, sharing will create a “public” link, which “anyone with the link can view.” The warning, though, doesn’t alert users that shared content might wind up being indexed by a search engine meaning that a user could effectively be sharing their Claude-generated document with the entire internet.
Such documents included what appeared to be a detailed medical report of a real patient, clinical trial results that included patient names, documents sharing the names and phone numbers of primary school-aged children, company documents marked for internal use only, and employee reviews that included personal information about workers.
Why YSK: if you've shared chats via Claude, that's not private information anymore
UPDATE: has been patched, no longer searchable but the damage is still done
