Shared Claude chats were reportedly showing up in search engines

Shared conversations with Anthropic's Claude AI chatbot were briefly indexed by search engines, making them publicly accessible via Google, Bing, and Brave Search. Users on Reddit discovered thousands of shared chats through a simple Google search, with some containing sensitive data like crypto keys and legal queries. Anthropic quickly responded, removing the indexed results from Google, though the chats remained visible longer on Bing and Brave Search.

Shared Claude chats were reportedly showing up in search engines Search engines briefly indexed shared Claude conversations, making them visible to anyone. Users on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/ found thousands of shared chats with Anthropic's AI chatbot through a simple Google search site:claude.ai/share . The "Share with link" feature apparently lacked a noindex tag, which tells search engines not to include pages in their results. OpenAI made the same mistake last year and later removed the feature https://uk.pcmag.com/ai/159360/be-careful-what-you-tell-chatgpt-your-chats-could-show-up-on-google-search . Some of the publicly accessible chats reportedly contained crypto keys and legal queries. Anthropic appears to have responded quickly, and the Google results disappeared soon after. On Bing and Brave Search, though, the chats stayed visible longer. Users can review and manage their shared conversations under Settings - Privacy - Shared Chats .
