OpenAI Introduces Lockdown Mode to Enhance ChatGPT Security Against Prompt InjectionPreviousNext

OpenAI has launched Lockdown Mode, a new optional security feature for ChatGPT aimed at protecting users from prompt injection attacks, which manipulate AI to reveal or misuse information. Designed for individuals and organizations handling sensitive data, Lockdown Mode restricts certain ChatGPT functions, such as online image retrieval and advanced features like Deep Research. While available to all users, it prioritizes security over convenience and is intended for higher-risk environments.
