Data Exposure Incident: Claude Shared Chats and Artifacts Indexed by Google
Sensitive Claude shared chats and artifacts were publicly indexed by Google due to misconfigured share links, exposing private data including health records and child information. Anthropic attributed the issue to user-shared links rather than platform flaws, while Google emphasized its policy of respecting site owner directives.
The issue appears to have originated from Claude’s “share chat” feature, which allows users to create links that enable anyone with the assigned URL view a conversation or project.
