What to know about a recent Mixpanel security incident

Transparency is important to us, so we want to inform you about a recent security incident at Mixpanel, a data analytics provider OpenAI used for web analytics on the frontend interface for our API product. The incident occurred within Mixpanel’s systems and involved limited analytics data related to some users of the API. Users of ChatGPT and other products were not impacted. This was not a breach of OpenAI’s systems. No chat, API requests, API usage data, passwords, credentials, API keys, payment details, or government IDs were compromised or exposed. On November 9, 2025, Mixpanel became aware of an attacker that gained unauthorized access to part of their systems and exported a dataset containing limited customer identifiable information and analytics information.

Full report : OpenAI says a Mixpanel security incident on November 9 let a hacker access API account names and more, but not ChatGPT data, and it terminated its Mixpanel use.
