# Schneier on Security

**[Schneier on Security](https://daily.dev/sources/schneier)** · 1 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Private Claude chat conversations, including sensitive data like cryptocurrency wallet keys, medical billing dashboards, and personal addresses, are being indexed and searchable on Google. The root cause is a user-controlled sharing setting that makes conversations publicly accessible. Anthropic deflects responsibility, stating they don't share sitemaps with search engines and that users who share conversations make them public. A fix is available via Claude's chat sharing settings.
