OpenAI has notified users about a security incident involving Mixpanel, a third-party analytics provider. The breach, which occurred on November 9, 2025, exposed limited user identifiable information and analytics data for some OpenAI API users and a subset of ChatGPT users who submitted help center tickets or were logged into platform.openai.com. The compromised data included names, email addresses, approximate location, and browser information, but crucially excluded sensitive details like passwords, API keys, or payment information. OpenAI has since terminated its use of Mixpanel and is conducting broader security reviews of its vendor ecosystem. AI
