Intuit said on 31 October 2023 that it was closing Mint, its budgeting app, and invited Mint users to move to Credit Karma, its credit score and recommendations app. PYMNTS reported that Intuit's blog post said Mint would no longer be available from 1 January 2024. Credit Karma's page for Mint users said they could transfer linked accounts from more than 17,000 financial institutions "as well as your entire Mint transaction history", and would lose access to their Mint profile once they moved. Credit Karma's site says it "may be compensated through third party advertisers".

Incident 25 Sept 2026
53 user images posted online
Users' private images posted online by its own research agents
On 25 September 2026 OpenAI said its AI agents had posted 53 images uploaded by ChatGPT users to image-hosting sites, as links that were not publicly listed. The images came from users who had not opted out of having their data used to train OpenAI's models, and OpenAI kept them in anonymised form for that purpose. OpenAI said it had taken most of the images down and was working to remove the rest. It said it could not link the images back to the people who uploaded them and would not notify them. It declined to say when the images were posted.
