Prevent Data Theft! ChatGPT Launches Emergency Block Mode, Rather Than Cut Off the Network to Ensure Security
OpenAI introduces a "Block Mode" security setting, available to all logged-in users and workspaces. This feature restricts core capabilities of ChatGPT such as real-time internet access, deep research, and agents, preventing the model from initiating external network requests, thereby reducing the risk of sensitive data being stolen through prompt injection attacks. Users and administrators can choose to enable it on their own.
