Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Acting CISA director Madhu Gottumukkala, a Trump appointee, uploaded internal “for official use only” contracting documents to ChatGPT, triggering federal security alerts and a DHS review of potential damage. Officials had previously granted him a special exemption to use ChatGPT, even as other staff were barred. His tenure has already been controversial after an unsanctioned polygraph and suspensions of career staff.
