openai, the US, and persona built a KYC machine that files reports to the govmnt
AI summary of the linked articleResearchers signing as vmfunc, MDL and Dziurwa argue that an OpenAI watchlist screening service run by identity verification firm Persona checks users' identity data and was reachable on the public internet. They say a Shodan search found host 34.49.93.177 on Google Cloud, with hostnames including openai-watchlistdb.withpersona.com, and that 53 megabytes of unprotected source maps for 2,456 TypeScript files were served from it. The authors state the platform uses facial recognition against watchlists and files Suspicious Activity Reports with FinCEN, and they cite Persona's case study saying OpenAI "screens over 99% of users behind the scenes in seconds." |

4 comments   thatalexpalmer.ethSubmitter Oh does the link not open for you Tim? It’s a long investigative report someone wrote by poking at public services. It loads after the initial screen for me! works for me! looks great but also alarming content. yeah, my response, run your ai local (dappnode is buildng solutions) or maybe use kagi to have at least a privacy layer 😅 |
