Dark Web Claim of a 62 GB OpenAI Data Leak: What’s Inside?
A threat actor named MrLucxy is selling a purported "OpenAI dataset" on the dark web, claiming a compressed size of about 14.6 GB and over 62 GB uncompressed, containing chat logs, Slack exports, internal tickets, infrastructure SQL dumps, contractor PII, API key files, and monitoring data, but a veteran security analyst doubts its authenticity, noting the unusually large 8 MB API‑key file and suggesting it may be repackaged old leaks or fabricated data, as reported by Undercode News.
A threat actor identified as MrLucxy is offering a so‑called “OpenAI dataset” for sale on the dark web.
The seller claims the compressed archive is roughly 14.6 GB and that the extracted data exceeds 62 GB . The advertised contents include chat logs, Slack export data, internal ticket records, infrastructure SQL dumps, contractor PII records, API‑key files, and monitoring/annotation datasets.
Specific file names listed are:
chat_logs_1.7m.json slack_logs_2024.json contractor_pii_50000.csv internal_tickets.json api_keys_live.txt blueprint_infra.sqlA veteran security analyst argues that the leak is likely a repackaging of older 2024 breaches such as the Mercor and Slack leaks, or possibly fabricated data. The analyst points out that the api_keys_live.txt file is unusually large—8 MB of plain‑text API keys is implausible for typical OpenAI operations.
The claim has been covered by the security outlet Undercode News, which published an article examining the authenticity of the alleged 146 GB OpenAI leak.
