The ChatGPT developed by OpenAI, which caused a real artificial intelligence frenzy in the world, had to face serious interruptions in the recent period. According to the company, this was caused by cyber attacks. These disruptions persisted even following the platform recovered from a major outage attributed to increased interest in new features. It can also be seen on OpenAI’s status page that ChatGPT itself and the API services also faced temporary outages. ChatGPT cyberattacks and users in the crossfire According to the company’s statement, “abnormal traffic patterns” were behind it, which clearly indicates a DDoS-type overload attack. According to the status page, by the way, there were problems for regarding 6-8 hours on November 8th, and by November 9th, there were no such entries. Earlier this week, there was another shutdown of almost two hours. At that time, users were faced with a message stating that ChatGPT had reached its capacity limit. OpenAI acknowledged that this was a real bug and was able to fix it quickly. But there have been partial outages before, recently there are surprisingly many. One of ChatGPT’s competitors, the Anthropic Claude chatbot, also faced problems at the beginning of the week, and users were also faced with a message indicating a capacity problem there. Since there was also a ChatGPT outage on the same day, many people suspected a connection between the two. However, it is possible that only ChatGPT users were looking for an alternative and the increase in traffic led to the shutdown of Claude. The CEO of OpenAI attributed the shutdown on November 6th to increased interest in the platform’s new features. In an X-post, he wrote that the interest in the new features at the time of introduction far exceeded expectations.
