Cybersecurity experts warn that DDoS attacks are difficult to prevent and that perpetrators can remain anonymous. Given the popularity of ChatGPT and the profile of OpenAI, the platform is likely to continue to be a target for cyberattacks in the future.
Meanwhile, OpenAI’s competitors, such as Anthropic, which Claude develops, have also experienced problems with their own chat tools. It is unclear whether these incidents are related to the ChatGPT attack.
Despite the outages, OpenAI is working to mitigate the effects of the attack and resolve service issues. However, it is expected that users will continue to experience service instability.
