TechCrunch Publishes 3-Platform Guide to Spot Hacked AI Accounts

3 articles · Updated · TechCrunch · Aug 15

Summary

  • TechCrunch outlined how users can check for unauthorized access on ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity accounts, focusing on session reviews and forced sign-outs.
  • ChatGPT and Claude both show active sessions in account settings, letting users remove a single suspicious device or log out everywhere; ChatGPT also lets users reset passwords with a six-digit email code.
  • Perplexity does not display logged-in devices, so the guide recommends using its “sign out of all sessions” option and then logging back in with an emailed six-digit code.
  • MFA is available on ChatGPT and Perplexity, while Claude relies on email login links instead of passwords, making email account security a key layer of protection.
