A leak in ChatGPT Lockdown Mode let you forward your chat history, OpenAI has patched it

Check Point Research found a way to bypass Lockdown Mode, the optional mode in ChatGPT designed to prevent data leaking through prompt injection. The flaw was in the HTML preview of code blocks: that sandbox allowed pop-up windows that fell outside Lockdown Mode, so an attacker could use a manipulated prompt, GPT or shared chat to siphon off your chat history. OpenAI reported on 18 September 2026 that the flaw had been fixed; Check Point published the details on 5 November.

What does this mean? Users don't need to do anything, but it shows that even an extra security mode is no guarantee: don't enter confidential client or patient data into a consumer account.

Elvis's rights holders and Eminem's publisher sue Suno

Elvis Presley Enterprises has filed a lawsuit against AI music generator Suno. The claimants argue that Suno imitates Presley's voice and thereby violates the Tennessee ELVIS Act, a law from 2024 against cloning voices without permission. Eight Mile Style, the publisher of classic Eminem tracks, has also started proceedings against Suno; Suno says it prohibits misuse of artist names and checks for it.

What does this mean? If you use Suno for music in campaigns or productions, avoid prompts with the names or styles of existing artists and keep an eye on the outcome of these cases.

Zwolle deploys AI agents Joop Inkoop and Mike Rosoft for civil servants

The municipality of Zwolle has trained 800 civil servants in AI use and is working with Microsoft Copilot. The first agents are Joop Inkoop, which helps select the right European procurement code (CPV) from over 12,000 categories, and Mike Rosoft, which answers questions about Microsoft applications. Wider deployment, for example in the social domain, awaits guidelines that the executive and council must approve by the end of 2026.

What does this mean? If you work for a municipality, this is an example of starting small with internal agents and setting frameworks before AI gets close to citizens.
