What happened?
Parameter AI Labs published a post titled "We Took over ChatGPT Accounts," claiming that ChatGPT accounts could be hijacked. The item reached 175 points on Hacker News.
Details are limited
The source text consists only of a headline; the technical nature of the flaw, the conditions that trigger it and how many accounts were affected have not been verified. The scale of the impact and OpenAI's position remain unclear.
Why it matters
ChatGPT is part of millions of people's daily workflows, and accounts can hold chat history and connected-app access. Claims of account takeover are a serious warning about protecting that data.
What to do for now
Until details are clear, users are advised to keep two-factor authentication on, close suspicious sessions and review permissions for connected apps.
