What issue are you seeing?
Hello,
I would like to clarify the recent “possible cyber security risk” warning on my account. My intention was not to perform any cybersecurity attack, vulnerability exploitation, penetration testing, scanning, privilege escalation, access bypass, data theft, or any unauthorized activity.
At that time, I only asked ChatGPT to help me read a webpage that I had already opened and browse data within a specific date range. My original intent was for the model to simulate normal user actions, such as clicking, scrolling, navigating the page, and reading visible webpage content.
The warning may have been triggered because the model chose to use JavaScript or a scripted method to retrieve page content. That was not my intended request. I did not ask for exploit code, malicious payloads, scanning tools, detection bypass, credential access, or access to any system that I was not authorized to use. I only wanted the AI to browse and read content from an already opened or publicly accessible webpage in the same way a normal user would.
If these conversations were flagged as cybersecurity risk, I believe this may have been a false positive. Going forward, I will avoid requests that could be misunderstood as cybersecurity-related and will only use ChatGPT for normal development, webpage reading, data organization, and general learning purposes.
I would appreciate it if you could review my case and remove or reduce the related risk flags. Thank you.
