OpenAI Help: Lockdown Mode

OpenAI has launched Lockdown Mode to mitigate data exfiltration risks from prompt injection attacks.

Lockdown Mode restricts outbound network requests, preventing attackers from transferring sensitive data even if a prompt injection succeeds. While it does not block the injection itself, it serves as a critical defense layer against the final stage of data theft.
