Madhu Gottumukkala, the interim head of the US cyber defense agency, uploaded sensitive contracting documents into a public version of ChatGPT last summer, Politico<\/a> writes.<\/p>\n

The incident triggered internal security alerts and raised concerns among federal officials. According to the report, the uploaded materials were marked “for official use only.”<\/p>\n

Politico sources say that after being appointed acting director of the agency, Gottumukkala requested permission to use the public version of ChatGPT — a platform that had previously been prohibited for agency staff.<\/p>\n

Following the disclosure, the US Department of Homeland Security launched an internal investigation, though its findings have not yet been made public.<\/p>\n

It is also reported that Gottumukkala previously failed a counterintelligence polygraph exam — a test that is not a routine employment screening. Such exams are designed for high-level security vetting and are typically administered to individuals with access to sensitive government information.<\/p>\n

Counterintelligence polygraph tests are used by security agencies to determine whether an individual has undisclosed ties to foreign governments, has leaked sensitive information, or poses a potential threat to national security.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
