Yes, you read that right. A few days ago, a bug allowed ChatGPT users to see descriptions of conversations that other users were having with the system. The bug was later fixed and CEO Sam Altman apologized for it. This in essence was not a privacy breach, but was scary nevertheless. ChatGPT rival Bard also made shocking revelations that it was trained with user’s gmail data, though Google denied it. This brings us to the question — is my personal data safe with ChatGPT or other AI tools? <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="AI platforms can pose a threat to privacy" comment="subhead2" text="AI platforms can pose a threat to privacy">AI platforms can pose a threat to privacy</cmsannotation> When using AI tools, it is important that one knows about the privacy risks they pose. Mukesh Choudhary, founder and CEO of Cyberops, an information security organization, says that there are several ways AI platforms can be a threat to your privacy. First is user profiling, where by analyzing user behaviours, AI platforms can build a user profile that can then be used for targeted advertising or other purposes. Second is data sharing, where for a variety of purposes, including research or advertising, AI platforms may share user data with other businesses or organizations. The next is third-party access. Here, <keyword id="3582352" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="AI-systems" source="Orion">AI systems</keyword> might give access to user data to outside developers who could exploit it for their own reasons. And finally, there is the issue of data breach. AI platforms are not immune to data breaches, which might result in unauthorized individuals accessing user information. These breaches are possible as a result of flaws in the platform's security procedures, such as weak passwords or unencrypted user data. “ChatGPT goes and reads everything on the Internet. But it has got no consent from us. And they could be selling off this data,” says Ritesh Bhatia, V4WEB Cybersecurity, a cybercrime investigations and digital forensics firm. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="What the law says" comment="subhead2" text="What the law says">What the law says</cmsannotation> In India, even presently, we do have a law regarding protection of sensitive personal information. The classification has been made u/s 43A of the Information Technology Act. “Under section 43A any organization is under a responsibility to protect personal information shared with the organization and follow due diligence or reasonable security practices for protection of the data. If there is a data leak or breach in security, that organization is liable to compensate the victim. However, if the victim has shared the personal data willingly as per the privacy policy of the body corporate and given consent for sharing such data, then that person does not have any right against the organization when the data is shared with the third party,” says Vaishali Bhagwat, Advocate, a practicing civil and cyber lawyer. ChatGPT does not fall under the purview of this law as they have a privacy policy which says that ‘OpenAI protects personal information using reasonable security measures and only shares it with third parties when necessary,’ as mentioned in their privacy policy, So, if one is sharing any data with ChatGPT, it can be used elsewhere. And it will not be against the law. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Your privacy is your responsibility" comment="subhead2" text="Your privacy is your responsibility">Your privacy is your responsibility</cmsannotation> So, when using such AI platforms there are certain things one should keep in mind. “First, since the platform reviews the conversations, the chats are not private. Information associated with your account, including your name, contact information, account credentials, payment card information, and transaction history are collected. Personal information that is included in the input, file uploads, or feedback that you provide to the services are collected and may be shared with third party services,” says Choudhary. “Just remember that whatever you are putting over there is getting recorded. Any employee should never share any sensitive information about their company out there,” says Bhatia. So, if you have a specific role to accomplish and that involves sensitive data, do not copy-paste it on an AI platform like ChatGPT. Also, don't share sensitive information like mobile number, address, Aadhaar card number etc on any AI platform. Avoid any “optional” information, like a middle name or phone number‍. As newer technologies permeate our lives, the lines of privacy are getting increasingly blurred. It is better to be safe than sorry.

The bidding was organised on April 10 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and it became interesting when a clash between two competitors pushed the bidding amount to a new high as the two took it as their prestige fight and stopped when they surpassed the registration limit for online auction." This interesting episode was reported in Sahpur Pakhar village in Dausa district where two bidders namely Karan Singh Gurjar and Naval Kishore <keyword id="6354744" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="meena">Meena</keyword> participated in the bidding and crossed the benchmark of ₹999 crore in the process.

The computer meanwhile stopped accepting the amount when it crossed the limit of over ₹1000 crore or else both the bidders could have continued with their bidding, Jain told IANS.

The company said that following the challenging period for the industry due to the <keyword id="11082915" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="lockdown-last-year">lockdown last year</keyword>, it has bounced back and pivoted to adapt favourably through <keyword id="11087654" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="new-flexible-product-offerings">new flexible product offerings</keyword>. <keyword id="2918346" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="WeWork">WeWork</keyword> India said that it is aiming for profitability in 2021. "The new capital we have raised will help us in continuing our upwards momentum and truly explore the potential of flexible workspaces in the Indian market," Karan Virwani, CEO, WeWork India, said in a statement. Announcing its "most successful sales quarter yet," WeWork India said it sold 10,000 desks during the January-March quarter. Despite the slow absorption for commercial real estate with 5.53 million sq ft leased in Q1 2021, WeWork remained bullish with driving sales and net absorption, with more than 7 lakh sq ft of area being sold (over 10 per cent of the total leasing in the market). "While last year was challenging for the industry, we have seen a steady uptick in demand from members of all sizes, and we will continue to remain bullish and focus on the growth of flexible workspaces in the country," Virwani said. "We are poised for sustainable long-term growth and are aiming for profitability in 2021. Our focus remains on providing a wide range of flexible offerings to meet our members' evolving needs." WeWork said over the last year it has also seen a strong demand from enterprises, who are now looking at flexible workspaces as a viable long-term real estate option. This is showcased by WeWork's enterprise portfolio seeing a 10 per cent jump to now constitute 60 per cent enterprise members, as well as facilitating the opening of its new workspace: Embassy Manyata NXT, in <keyword id="6354321" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bengaluru">Bengaluru</keyword>. WeWork last month said it entered into an agreement with Indian American Vivek Ranadive-led blank-check firm BowX Acquisition Corp., providing for a business combination that will result in the co-sharing workspace company becoming a publicly listed company. The transaction values WeWork at an initial enterprise value of approximately $9 billion, WeWork said.

Both Sensex and Nifty slumped by over 3.5% as the markets feared the second wave of COVID-19 leading to lockdowns. However, investors who are feeling the heat today might find solace that analysts expect that the worst might be over for now. “Fears of an impending lockdown amid rising COVID-19 cases led to panic selling today. The markets have accounted for the expected lockdown in Maharashtra, and may stage a recovery as soon as this week,” market analyst Arun Kejriwal told Business Insider India. Small and mid-cap investors singed under the sell-off while small and mid-cap indices fell by 4.5-5%, Sensex declined by a relatively lower 3.5%. Nifty was hovering around the 14,300 mark at 2 pm on April 12, down by over 500 points from its previous close on April 9, the previous working day. <div type="image" title="Nifty March-April 12,

12, 2021. However, Binod Modi of Reliance Securities struck a concerned note. “Domestic equities do not look to be inspiring at the moment. A sharp increase in Covid-19 daily cases in the country, and possibility of large economic restrictions are expected to keep investors nervous in the near term,” he was quoted by PTI. The focus is on the impending lockdown in Maharashtra, which is the worst affected state in terms of rising COVID-19 cases across the country. This, Modi said, is also weighing in on investor sentiments. According to Kejriwal, the next support level for Nifty is 14,200. Based on the existing number, investors still have a cushion of around 100 points. Kejriwal explained that the markets could stay above this level for this week. Much depends on the earnings of the leading three information technology (IT) services companies – TCS, Infosys and Wipro – all of whom are scheduled to announce their March 2021 quarter results this week, starting with TCS today (April 12). The results of these companies will decide which way the IT sector goes after today’s panic sell-off. This will also have an impact on the overall markets, according to Kejriwal. If you were holding off on buying stocks, now could be a good time. After all, corrections and sell-offs present an opportunity.

Stock markets plunge by over 3.5% wiping off over ₹8 lakh crore of investor wealth – but may recover soon as per analysts

Like a lot of botched situations, this one started with an ill-advised tweet. On 28 July, Ram Sewak Sharma, the current chief of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) and interestingly, the former chief of the Unique Identification Authority of India (<keyword id="6355252" type="DEFINITION" weightage="20" keywordseo="uidai">UIDAI</keyword>), challenged the Indian public to do their worst after disclosing his <keyword id="155319" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Aadhar">Aadhar</keyword> number on <keyword id="6354616" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Twitter">Twitter</keyword>. 
 
 
 
 <div type="javascript" title="Custom"><cdata><![CDATA[
 
]]></cdata></div>









 The challenge was meant to end the <keyword id="6355135" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Privacy">privacy</keyword> debate over Aadhar once and for all. Here was a prominent government official and a staunch advocate of the Aadhar programme giving out his details and asking for a “concrete example of harm”. The Twitterati had a field day. A number of users posted details about his PAN card, mobile number, home address and date of birth. However, Sharma brushed off the responses, stating that the info found was publicly available and they had nothing to do with his Aadhar number. While the accuracy of most of the information found wasn’t able to be verified, the damage was done. 
 
 
 
 <div type="javascript" title="Custom"><cdata><![CDATA[

 <div type="javascript" title="Custom"><cdata><![CDATA[
 
]]></cdata></div>









 Even a French hacker, going by the handle of Elliot Alderson, like the character in the TV show Mr. Robot, weighed into the debate, posting a picture of Sharma with his daughter and declaring that he should never have disclosed his number in the first place. 
 
 
 
 <div type="javascript" title="Custom"><cdata><![CDATA[
 
]]></cdata></div>









 Sharma, however, remained adamant. He said that no “harm” had been caused yet, implying that he believed that he had won the challenge. 
 
 
 <div type="javascript" title="Custom"><cdata><![CDATA[
 
]]></cdata></div>
 On 29 July, the UIDAI released a statement on the issue. The government agency in charge of implementing the Aadhar programme refuted the fact that RS Sharma’s personal information had been stolen by using his Aadhar number and reiterated the fact that these details were already available on the internet. 
 
 
 <div type="javascript" title="Custom"><cdata><![CDATA[
 
]]></cdata></div>







 On 30 July, the Indian government issued a statement saying that Sharma’s personal details hadn’t been extracted from the Aadhar database, and therefore, had nothing to do with the security of the Aadhar programme. 
 
 
 <div type="javascript" title="Custom"><cdata><![CDATA[
 
]]></cdata></div>







 On 31 July, Sharma, looking to reframe the narrative, authored <a href="https://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/rs-sharma-aadhaar-number-challenge-trai-chairman-twitter-5283781/">an opinion piece </a>in the Indian Express titled “Why I gave out my Aadhar number”. He explained that the tweet wasn’t “impulsive” and restated his beliefs about the security of the system. Rather than explaining what the risks of the programme were and how the UIDAI had provisioned for these risks, Sharma chastised the critics of Aadhar for “scaremongering”. He added that the people who had taken up the challenge had found his personal details through Google searches and had been using the info to “unsuccessfully” hack his email account and also subscribe him to a number of services, which failed because they required OTP authentication. Finally, he addressed the fact that someone had deposited ₹1 into his account. Without pausing to examine the leak of the his bank account info, he said that this did not mean anything because he had actually received money, which was a good thing. However, on the same day, the UIDAI issued a series of tweets cautioning people against giving out their Aadhar details. 
 
 
 <div type="javascript" title="Custom"><cdata><![CDATA[
 
]]></cdata></div>







 The statement, which functioned as a veiled rebuke of the challenge in the first place, explained that publishing personal information was not compliant with the law. The UIDAI also said that it was doing so would make the holder “vulnerable”, although it wasn’t clear to what - trolling on social media or the theft of their private info? The end result? No one knows for sure whether the Aadhar programme is safe or not. No one’s mind seems to have changed. If anything is certain, however, it is that the people at the helm of the programme need to think first before starting a wave of misinformation and confusion on social media. It only serves to dilute the national conversation.

Here’s what you need to know about TRAI chief’s Aadhar challenge and everything that’s happened since

<ul><li>The State Bank of India’s (SBI) server was left without any password protection exposing the contact details, balances and partial account number details of its users. </li><li>The server has since been secured, but while left vulnerable, it had archived messages going back to December. </li><li>While no sensitive data was disclosed, the data breach leaves customers susceptible to social engineering hacks and extortion.</li></ul>Hacking is where someone has to bypass security in order to get information, but India’s largest bank, the State Bank of India (SBI), left the data of millions of users exposed all because it <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2019/01/30/state-bank-india-data-leak/">did not set a password</a> on its server. The ‘SBI Quick’ server — a service that allows the bank’s customers to text the bank for information on their accounts — has reportedly been secured since the report. But while it was open, it had archives of messages dating back to December according to TechCrunch’s investigation. That’s millions and millions of messages about balance information, loan inquiries, financial transactions and other data — although there were no passwords disclosed. The data breach was spotted by a security researcher (unnamed) and verified by Karan Saini, the researcher who previously found a leak in India’s Aadhaar database, the largest biometric authentication system in the world. Business Insider has reached out to SBI but they are yet to issue a response on the data breach. . Your data is secure… so far While there was no sensitive data on the server, simple details like partial account numbers and contact information can render the SBI customers vulnerable to ransom demands. Social engineering attacks, one of the most common ways commit financial fraud, could also be a possibility. Drawing a correlation between a phone number and a high account balance, a social engineering attack would involve human interaction and manipulating their targets in to breaking normal security guidelines. 
 
 <div type="ExtQuote" text="“The data available could potentially be used to profile and target individuals that are known to have high account balances.&quot;" auname="Karan Saini, security researcher told TechCrunch"></div>





 The scope of the problem As India’s largest bank, SBI claims to have more than 500 million customers worldwide with 740 million accounts. And since the bank hasn’t issued any response there isn’t any data available to determine exactly which customers’ data was exposed and how many customers are vulnerable overall. But, in a single data, the server shoots out nearly three million messages which doesn’t paint a very encouraging picture. India’s problem with data Protecting data is a much larger program and goes beyond SBI. It’s not companies aren’t spending on security, but it’s getting harder to stay ahead of the challenges. To be fair, in SBI’s case, it was a simple case of negligence. When the Cosmos Bank — a 112 year old bank in India — was <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/banking/finance/banking/north-korean-connection-to-cosmos-hacking-signs-point-to-bangladesh-heist-masterminds/articleshow/65411640.cms">hacked</a> in August last year, it was the victim of an attack carried out by the Lazarus Group of North Korea. A report by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) <a href="https://www.bcg.com/en-in/capabilities/technology-digital/mastering-cybersecurity.aspx">found</a> that among 50 of the recent major data breaches, only 28% were caused by inadequate security tech. In all the other cases — that’s 72% or nearly three-quarters — the breaches were caused due to organizational failure, process failure or, simply, employee negligence. While improving the technology behind cybersecurity is important, it’s also key to drive resilience measures in order to improve efficacy.
