302.ai Storage Exposure Included AI Chat Logs, Researchers Report

Cybernews researchers found publicly accessible storage associated with 302.ai, TechRadar reports. The archive included AI conversation logs and was later locked down; access by other parties remains unclear.

The Short Version

Cybernews researchers found an openly accessible Azure storage bucket associated with AI aggregator 302.ai, according to TechRadar. The report describes 22.72TB of files, including more than 144,000 conversation logs.

This is new reporting about an earlier exposure: researchers reportedly discovered it in early August 2026 and saw access locked down a month later.

Why It Matters

The reported logs contained more than the words someone typed. They included AI replies, the model used, token costs and timestamps. For a person sharing private information, a conversation record can therefore reveal both the original request and the response it produced.

An AI aggregator combines models and tools in one service. Choosing among models does not, by itself, answer how that service stores the conversations passing through it.

The Bigger Picture

Public accessibility and confirmed theft are different findings. TechRadar describes storage without encryption or password protection, but leaves unanswered whether anyone outside the research team accessed or copied the files. The available account does not establish that every exposed record was taken or misused.

Likewise, closing access addresses the reported exposure without settling what happened beforehand.

What to Watch

The unresolved questions include when the archive first became accessible, who managed it and whether other parties viewed the contents. TechRadar says Cybernews contacted Univerads Technology but received no reply. Clear incident details would help affected users understand their situation; file counts alone do not establish how many distinct people were involved.

Before sharing sensitive information with an AI service, how much do you know about where its conversation records are stored?
