The leak involved non-sensitive information of some customers, including names and credit balances, up to 2023. This incident triggered widespread concerns in the industry about the data security of large-scale language models, and once again highlighted the huge challenges faced by AI companies in data protection. The FTC's investigation will further examine Anthropic's data security measures and may have a significant impact on the company's future development.
