Overview
- Politico reported earlier this week that Madhu Gottumukkala uploaded sensitive CISA files to a public version of ChatGPT last summer.
- MS NOW says it has not independently confirmed the upload, and DHS is reviewing an 'unsanctioned' polygraph that Gottumukkala reportedly failed.
- Prominent pro-Trump social media accounts focused their responses on Gottumukkala’s Indian heritage rather than the security questions raised.
- Examples cited include posts by Gab founder Andrew Torba and an anti-immigration group, with one claiming a 'random midwestern White guy' would be more qualified.
- Alternet reports the documents were not classified but marked 'for official use only,' and that six CISA employees who administered the polygraph were placed on paid leave.
