Title: Character.AI Discloses Brief User Data Exposure Incident
Date: December 18, 2024
In a recent statement, Character.AI announced a brief incident where user data was inadvertently exposed to other users for approximately ten minutes. The company has taken immediate action to rectify the issue and implement additional safeguards to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
According to reports, the incident occurred during an update to the featured Characters list on the Character.AI homepage, which mistakenly made some user account information publicly visible. This exposure could have included a user’s username, name, bio, Characters, homepage, personas, voices, or chats. However, it is essential to note that in most cases, only one section of a user’s account was accessible to others.
Fortunately, the issue was quickly addressed by the Character.AI team, lasting roughly ten minutes and affecting less than 0.01% of users. The company has taken measures to revise its procedures for making changes to critical infrastructure and introduced additional technical controls to ensure that all modifications meet their quality standards.
Character.AI expressed regret over the incident and emphasized its commitment to user trust, safety, and privacy. The company is taking comprehensive precautions to prevent any future recurrence.
