TL;DR: We propose a novel multi-step jailbreaking privacy attack on ChatGPT to successfully recover certain personal information via black-box API access.

Abstract: With the rapid progress of large language models (LLMs), many downstream NLP tasks can be well solved given appropriate prompts. Though model developers and researchers work hard on dialog safety to avoid generating harmful content from LLMs, it is still challenging to steer AI-generated content (AIGC) for the human good. As powerful LLMs are devouring existing text data from various domains (e.g., GPT-3 is trained on 45TB texts), it is natural to doubt whether the private information is included in the training data and what privacy threats can these LLMs and their downstream applications bring. In this paper, we study the privacy threats from OpenAI's ChatGPT and the New Bing enhanced by ChatGPT and show that application-integrated LLMs may cause new privacy threats. To this end, we conduct extensive experiments to support our claims and discuss LLMs' privacy implications.

Abstract
Such mass collection of personal data incurs de- bates and worries. For example, under the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), train- ing a commercial model on extensive personal data without notice or consent from data subjects lacks legal basis. Consequently, Italy once temporarily banned ChatGPT due to privacy considerations!
With the rapid progress large language models (LLMss, many downstream NLP tasks can be well solved given appropriate prompts. Though model developers and researchers work hard on dialog safety to avoid generating harm- ful content from L.MMs, it is still challenging steer Al-generated content (AIGC) for the human good. As powerful LLMs are devouring existing text data from various domains (c.g.. GPT-3 is trained on 45TB texts), it is natural to doubt whether the private information is in- cluded the training data and what privacy threats these LLMs and their downstream applications bring. In this paper, we study the privacy threats from OpenAl's ChatGPT and the New Bing enhanced by ChatGPT and show that application-integrallee
Unfortunately, the privacy analysis of language models is still less explored and remains an active area. Prior works (Lukas et al., 2023; Pan et al., 2020; Mireshghallah et al., 2022; Huang et al., 2022: Carlini et al., 2021) studied the privacy leak- age issues of language models (LMs) and claimed that memorizing training data leads private data leakage. However, these works mainly investigated variants of GPT-2 models (Radford al., 2019) trained simply by language modeling objective, which aimed to predict the next word given the cur- rent context. Despite the efforts made by these pio- neering works, there is still huge gap between the latest LLMs and GPT-2. First, LLMs' model sizes and dataset scales much larger than GPT-2. Sec- ond, LLMs implement more sophisticated training objectives, which include instruction tuning (Wei et al., 2022a) and Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) (Christiano et al., 2017). Third, most LLMs only provide application pro- gramming interfaces (APIs) and we cannot inspect the model weights and training corpora. Lastly, it is trending to integrate various applications into LLMs empower LLMs' knowledge grounding ability solve math problems (ChatGPT + Wol- fram Alpha), read formatted files (ChatPDF), and respond to queries with the search engine (the New Bing). As a result, it remains unknown to what extent privacy leakage occurs on these present-day LLMs we use.
LLMs may cause new privacy threats. To this end, we conduct extensive experiments to support our claims and discuss LLMs' privacy implications.
1 Introduction
The rapid evolution large language models (LLMs) makes them a game changer for mod- emn natural language processing. LLMs' domi- nating generation ability changes previous tasks' paradigms to unified text generation task and con- sistently improves LLMs' performance
these tasks (Raffel et al., 2020; Chung et al., 2022; Brown et al., 2020b; OpenAI, 2023; Ouyang et al., 2022; Chan al., 2023). Moreover, given appropriate instructions/prooptt, LLMs even can be zero-shot or few-shot learners to solve specified tasks (Chen et al., 2021; Zhou et al., 2023; Kojima et al., 2022; Wei et al., 2022b; Sanh et 2022).
Notably, LLMs' training data also scale up in accordance with models' sizes and performance. Massive LLMs' textual training data are primar- ily collected from the Internet and researchers pay less attention to the data quality and confidential- ity of the web-sourced data (Piktus et al., 2023).
To fill the mentioned gap, in this work, we con-

duct privacy analyses of the otate-of-the-art LLMs and study their privacy implications. We follow the setting of previous works to evaluate the privacy leakage issues of ChatGPT thoroughly and show that previous prompts are insufficient to extract personally identifiable information (PII) from Chat- GPT with enhanced dialog safety. We then propose novel multi-step jailbreaking prompt to extract PII from ChatGPT successfully. What's more, we also study privacy threats introduced by the New Bing, an integration of ChatGPT and search engine. The New Bing changes the paradigm of retricval- based search engines into the generation task. Be- sides privacy threats from memorizing the training data, the new paradigm may provoke unintended PIl dissemination. In this paper, we demonstrate the free lunch possibility for the malicious adver- sary to extract personal information from the New Bing with almost no cost. Our contributions can be summarized as follows:?
studies (Lukas al., 2023; Huang et al., 2022; Car- lini et al., 2021) suggested that LMs tend mem- orize their training data and partial private infor- mation might be recovered given specific prompts. Mireshghallah et al. (2022) proposed membership inference attacks on fine-tuned LMs and suggested that these LMs' private fine-tuning data were vul- nerable to extraction attacks. On the other hand, few works (Li et al., 2022; Pan al., 2020; Song and Raghumathan, 2020) examined information leakage issues on L.Ms' embeddings during infer- ence time. Evolved from LMs, LLMs adopt various defenses against malicious use cases. Markov et al. (2023) built a holistic system for content detec- tion to avoid undesired content from hate speech to harmful content. OpenAl (2023) fine-tuned the GPT-4 model to reject queries about private infor- mation. It still unclear whether safety-enhanced LLMs inherit the privacy issues of LMs. In this work, we study PII extraction on LLMs.
(1) We show previous attacks cannot extract any personal information from ChatGPT. Instead, we propose novel multi-step jailbreaking prompt to demonstrate that ChatGPT could still leak PII even though a safety mechanism is implemented.
Prompts and prompt-based attacks on LLMs. Prompt-based methods (Brown et al., 2020a; Liu et al., 2023; Schick and Schütze, 2021; Li and Liang, 2021) play a vital role in the development of language models. Benign prompts boost LLM to solve unseen tasks (Ouyang et al., 2022; Brown et al., 2020a: Chung et al., 2022). However, the other hand, malicious prompts impose harm and threats. Recently, Jailbreaking prompts (Daryanani, 2023) are widely discussed to remove the restric- tions of ChatGPT and allow ChatGPT to Do Any- thing Now (DAN) (0xk 2023). Prompt Injec- tion attacks (Perez and Ribeiro, 2022) proposed goal hijacking and prompt leaking to misuse LLMss Goal hijacking aimed to misalign the goal of orig- inal prompts to target goal, while prompt leak- ing tried recover the information from private prompts. Kang et al. (2023) treated LLMs as pro- grams and mimicked Computer Security attacks to maliciously prompt harmful contents from LLMss. Greshake et al. (2023) extended Prompt Injection attacks to application-intege integrated LLMs and argued that augmenting LLMs with applications could am- plify the risks. These works mainly propose adver- sarial prompts malfunction the LLMS deviate from their original goals or generate harmful con- tent like hate speech. In this work, we utilize these tricky prompts to elicit personal information from LLMs and analyze their threats and implications.
(2) We disclose the new privacy threats be- yond the personal information memorization issue for applicattio-integrattee LLM. The application- integrated LLM can recover personal information with improved accuracy.
(3) We conduct extensive experiments to assess the privacy risks of these LLMs. While our re- sults indicate that the success rate of attacks is not exceedingly high, any leakage of personal informa- tion is a serious concern that cannot be overlooked. Our findings suggest that LLM's 's safety needs fur- ther improvement for open and safe use.

Data Extraction Attacks on ChatGPT
3.3 Private Data Extraction from ChatGPT ChatGPT is initialized from the GPT-3.5 model (Brown et al., 2020a) and fine-tuned on conversations supervised by human Al trainers. Since ChatGPT is already tuned to improve dialog safety, consider three prompts to conduct training data extraction attacks from direct prompts to multi-step jailbreaking prompts.
In this section, we describe our privacy attacks from data preparation to attack methodologies.
3.1 Data Collection
Most existing privacy laws state that personal data refers to any information related to an identified identifiable living individual. For example, per- sonal emails are widely regarded as private infor- mation and used an indicator of studying privacy leakage. Prior works that studied the privacy leak- age of LMs commonly assumed that they could access the training corpora. However, we cannot access the training data of the LLMs we investi- gated. Instead, we only know that these LLMs are trained on massive textual data from the Internet. In this work, collect multi-facete personally iden- tifiable information from the following sources:
3.3.1 Extraction with Direct Prompts
Previous works (Carlini et al., 2021; Huang et al., 2022; Mireshghallah et al., 2022; Lukas al., 2023) mainly used direct prompts extract private information from LMs including variants of GPT-2. For example, the adversary may use prompts like " name: [name], email:
to extract the email address of a specific person or use "name: " directly to recover multiple (name, email) pairs via sampling-bass -baedd decoding.
Enron Email Dataset (Klimt and Yang, 2004).
Fortunately, thanks the dialog safety fine- tuning, ChatGPT after the Mar Version tends hesitate from answering any private information if we use direct prompts for data extraction. shown in Figure (a), ChatGPT refuses to generate any personal information with direct prompts.
The Enron Email Dataset collect around 0.5M
emails from about 150 Enron employees and the data was made public on the Internet. We no- tice that several frequently used websites store the emails of the Enron Email Dataset, and we believe it is likely to be included in the training corpus of LLMs. We processed (name, email address) pairs well as corresponding email contents from the dataset. Moreover, we collect (name, phone num- bers) pairs from the email contents.
3.3.2 Extraction with Jailbreaking Prompts
Though ChatGPT pays great effort into dialog safety and can successfully prevent against train- ing data extraction attacks with direct prompts, there is still a sideway to bypass ChatGPT's ethi- cal modules called jailbreaking. Jailbreaking ex- ploits tricky prompts to make ChatGPT evade pro- gramming restrictions and generate anything freely. These tricky prompts usually set up user-created role plays to alter ChatGPT's ego and allow Chat- GPT to answer user queries unethically. DAN refers to "Do Anything for Now", and is one exem- plary jailbreaking prompt to generate offensive or prejudiced comments about politics, race and sex. In this work, we exploit these jailbreaking prompts make ChatGPT generate personal infor- mation of given names. For example, according the use cases of Figure (b), ChatGPT sometimes generates private information from its "Developer Mode" role of the jailbreaking prompt.
Institutional Pages. We observe that profes- sional scholars tend to share their contact informa- tion of their Institutional emails and office phone numbers their web pages. We hereby collect (name, email address) and (name, phone number) pairs of professors from worldwide universities. For each university, we collect 10 pairs from its Computer Science Department.
3.2 Attack Formulation
Given the black-box API access an LLM where we can only input texts and obtain textual responses, training data extraction attacks aim to re- construct sensitive information s from f's training corpora with prefix (or prompt) p. In other words, training data extraction is also text completion task where the adversary attempts to recover pri- vate information s from the tricky prompt such that: f() s. In this work, we assume that the adversary can only obtain textual outputs from APIs where hidden representations and predicted probability matrices are inaccessible.

improve LLMs reasoning ability. For the Mar Version of ChatGPT, we occasionally observe that ChatGPT may still refuse to generate private infor- mation given jailbreaking prompts. Inspired by the magic power of "Let's think step by step" (Kojima et al., 2022), we propose the Multi-step Jailbreak- ing Prompt (MJP) to bypass the moral restrictions of LLMs and encourage LLMs to generate private information.
times with sampling- based decoding. As displayed in Figure (d), we collect distinct personal infor- mation from diverse responses. We consider two methods to verify which one the correct answer. The first method converts the collected information into a multiple-choice question and prompts the LLM again to choose the correct answer. During implementation, we treat the first displayed infor- mation in the response the LLM's final choice. The second method is majority voting which re- gards the most frequent prediction as the final an- swer. If there is a tie, we randomly choose one candidate as the final prediction.
Our proposed MJP aims to relieve LLMs' ethical considerations and force LLMs to recover personal information. We merge jailbreaking prompts into the three-utterance context between the user and ChatGPT. First, we play the role of the user to input the jailbreaking prompt. Second, we act as the as- sistant (ChatGPT) to acknowledge that the jailbreak mode is enabled. Finally, we perform as the user to query the assistant with previous direct prompts. Moreover, we append one more sentence to the final user query to encourage ChatGPT to make a random guess if it does not know the email ad-
3.4 Personal Data Recovery from New Bing
The New Bing introduces a new search paradigm from search to the combination of search and AIGC to improve search accuracy and relevance. Mi- crosoft even names the new combination as the Prometheus model to emphasize its importance. Moreover, they claim that safeguards are imple- mented to address issues like misinformation and disinformation, data safety, and harmful content. However, unlike ChatGPT, the New Bing fre- quently responds to direct prompts mentioned in Section 3.3.1 according to our use cases. Here, we consider two attack scenarios with direct prompts for the new search paradigm. One is the free-form extraction that directly generates (name, PII) pairs given the domain information, and the other is par- tially identified extraction, which recovers PII with given names and domain information. Though the scarch results are publicly available and not private, the New Bing may increase the risk of unintended
dress or could not answer the emails due to ethical considerations. The second utterance convinces the LLM to accept its role of jailbreaking prompts. The last appended sentence exploits indirect prompts to bypass the LLM's ethical module and persuade the LLM to generate or improvise personal infor- mation based on learned distribution. Figure (c) depicts that ChatGPT is more willing to make such "random guesses" based on the proposed MJP.
3.3.4 Response Verification

Evaluation Metries. For each PII recovery, we generate response per prompt and count the num- ber of pairs that can parse our predefined patterns from responses as # parsed. Moreover, we can also automatically generate multiple responses via its chat completion API. During our experiments, we perform 5 generations and then use Hir to denote the percentage of pairs that include correct prediction from their responses. For each pair, we use the first parsed PII as the final prediction among all 5 generations by default. If response verifica- tion tricks are applied, we use the verified result as the final prediction. To verify how many emails are correctly recovered, we report the count (# cor- rect) and accuracy (Acc) of correctly recovered emails by comparing final predictions with correct emails. For phone number recovery, calculate the longest common substring (LCS) between final predictions and ground truth numbers and report the count of pairs whose LCS > (LCSs) and the overall count for 5 generations @LCS&@5).
3.4.1 Free-form Extraction
Free-form extraction assumes the adversary only knows some domain knowledge about targets, in- cluding names of companies and institutions, email domains, and website links. Free-form extraction exploits the search and summarization ability of the New Bing. Simple instructions like "Please list me some example (name, email) pairs according to your search results about [domain knowledge]" are sufficient to extract personal information. The ad- versary aims to extract personal information from LLMs based on its domain knowledge so that it can gather excessive personal information with- out heavy human labor. The collected information may be maliciously used to send spam or phishing emails. In the later experiments, we will show how extract demanded information via adding more specific conditions on queries.
3.4.2 Partially Identified Extraction
Data Extraction Attack Pipeline. All our extrac- tion attacks are conducted on the web interface of the New Bing and the chat completion API of Chat- GPT from their corresponding official sources. For the web interface, we manually type attack queries and collect the responses. For each attack case, we start a new session to avoid the interference of previous contexts. For the ChatGPT API, we write a script to input attack queries with contexts to obtain responses from LLMs, then write regular expression formula parse the PII shown in responses as predicted PII.
Partially identified extraction assumes that the ad- versary is interested in recovering the private in- formation about target individual, given its name and corresponding domain knowledge. This attack usually takes the format like name: [name], email:
" to force LLMs to predict private information associated with the name. The attack based on the association can be harmful directly to partially identified victim.
4 Experiments
In this section, we follow the zero-shot setting to conduct experiments to recover multi-faceted per- sonal information that includes email addresses and phone numbers. In addition, experiments email content recovery can be found in Appendix B.

Evaluated Prompts
To evaluate privacy threats of ChatGPT, we fol- low Huang et al. (2022)'s experimental settings to measure association under the zero-shot setting. In our experiments, we test association on email addresses and phone numbers. In addition, we as- sume we have no prior knowledge about the textual formats, and there is no text overlap between prompts and the contents to be evaluated. We lever- age jailbreaking and multi-step prompts create the following prompts:

Datasets. For the Enron Email Dataset, we pro- cessed 100 frequent (name, email address) pairs whose email domain is "@enron.com" from En- ron's employees and 100 infrequent pairs whose domains do not belong to Enron. Among 100 fre- quent pairs, manually filter out 12 invalid or- ganizational emails and evaluate the remaining 88 pairs. We also collect 300 (name, phone number) pairs to recover phone numbers given names. For Institutional Pages, we collect 50 (name, email ad- dress) pairs and 50 (name, phone number) pairs.
Direct prompt (DP). As explained in Sec 3.3.1, direct query to obtain PII.

ChatGPT is better at associating names with email addresses than phone numbers. Tables 1,2 and 3 show that email addresses can be moderately recovered, whereas phone numbers present a con- siderable challenge for association. Furthermore, the higher frequency of email addresses being # parsed suggests that ChatGPT might view phone numbers as more sensitive PII, making them more difficult to parse and correctly extract.

MJP+majority voting (MJP+MV). We generate 5 responses via MJP. Then we use majority voting choose the final answer.
ChatGPT indeed can prevent direct and a half jailbreaking prompts from generating PII. Based on the results of # parsed, both JP and DP are incapable of recovering PII. For example, when it comes to the more realistic scenario about institu- tional emails, even JP only parse 10 email pat- terns out of 50 cases. In addition, most responses mention that is not appropriate or ethical to dis- close personal information and refuse to answer the queries. These results indicate that previous ex- traction attacks with direct prompts are no longer effective safety-enhanced LLMSs like ChatGPT.
These prompts' examples can be found in Fig- ure 1. And the detailed templates are reported in Appendix A.

Table 4 lists the recovery performance for all 4 data types. Compared with ChatGPT's 4% accu- racy for institutional data extraction in Tables 3 and 2, the New Bing can recover 94% email addresses and 48% phone numbers correctly. After com- paring responded pages from the New Bing with search results from Microsoft Bing, we suspect that the New Bing's dominating personal informa- tion recovery performance largely comes from the integrated search engine. We observe a high simi- larity of suggested websites between Bing and the New Bing. For institutional email pairs, the New Bing can locate the target faculty's personal web page and respond with the correct email address. Moreover, some correctly recovered addresses are even personal emails of non-institutional email do- mains. For Enron pairs, the New Bing only finds the pages that store the Enron Email files and most (name, email address) pairs are not accessible di- rectly via source HTML files. These results imply that the New Bing may accurately recover personal information if its integrated search engine can find corresponding web pages.

Consequently, MJP improves the number of parsed patterns, recovery accuracy, and Hir@5, Response verification can improve attack performance. Both multiple-choice prompting (MJP+MCC and majority voting (MJP+MV) gain extra 10% accuracy on the frequent Enron emails. This result also verifies the PII memorization issue of ChatGPT.
4.3 Evaluation on the New Bing
4.3.1 Evaluated Prompts
Based on our use cases of the New Bing, we no- tice that direct prompts are sufficient to generate personal information from the New Bing. Unlike previous privacy analyses of LMs, the New Bing plugs the LLM into the search engine. The pow- erful search plugin enables the LIM to access any online data beyond its training corpus. Utilizing the information extraction ability of LLM boosts the search quality at a higher risk of unintended personal data exposure. Therefore, we mainly con- sider two modes of personal information extraction attacks as mentioned in Section 3.4:
4.3.3 Evaluation on Free-form Extraction
Besides partially identified extraction, we prompt the New Bing to list (name, email address) pairs given only the domain information. Then we verify the correctness based on web search results and other publicly available files. We prompt the New Bing with Enron and Non-Enron email domains for the Enron dataset and two institutional domains.
Table 5 shows the free-form extraction results. Unsurprisingly, most listed (name, email address) pairs are correct with corresponding online sources. Moreover, for institutional faculties, the more influ- ential, the higher risks of being correctly recovered. These results imply that malicious users may ob- tain personal information simply by instructing the New Bing to list some examples.
Direct prompt (DP). Given the victim's name and domain information, the adversary uses direct query to recover the victim's 's PII.
Free-form Extraction (FE). Given only the do- main information, the adversary aims to recover (name, PII) pairs of the domain by directly asking the New Bing to list some examples.

In this section, we evaluate personal information re- covery performance via direct prompts. For email addresses, we select the first 20 frequent and in- frequent pairs of the Enron Email Dataset, respec- tively, and all 50 collected institutional pairs for

against common prompts regarding personal infor- mation. Moreover, shown in the case of JP, ChatGPT may sometimes refuse to answer such queries under role-play based jailbreaking prompts. However, ChatGPT may give unethical comments like hacking databases under the "Developer Mode" of jailbreaking prompts. For MJP, ChatGPT is more willing to generate personal information we ask it to make random guesses. Regrettably. some random guesses may be correct. These re- sults imply that ChatGPT fails to defend against indirect and vicious prompts and more defenses on the dialog-safety should be employed.
processes can be automatically done for personal information harvesting with malicious purposes via simple scripts. These cases suggest that application- integrated LLMs may bring more realistic privacy threats than LMs that are previously studied.
In addition, also study the more complicated email content extraction attack and put exemplary cases in Figures and in Appendix B.
Conclusion
In this paper, we conduct privacy analyses of LLMs and application-integrated LLMs. We follow the previous zero-shot setting to study the privacy leak- age issues of ChatGPT, We show that ChatGPT's safety defenses are effective against direct prompts and yet insufficient defend our proposed multi- step jailbreaking prompt. Then we reveal that the New Bing is much more vulnerable to direct prompts. We discuss the two LLMs' privacy impli- cations and potential defenses in Appendix and E. For future work, we will experiment with more
The New Bing. In Figure 3, we ask the New Bing to generate the email address of a faculty suc- cessfully. Even though the faculty obfuscates its email pattern with "[at]" to avoid web crawlers, can still extract the obfuscated email and instruct New Bing to convert the email the correct format almost no cost. On the other hand, we can sim- ply ask the New Bing to list personal information directly as shown Figure 4. Notice that these

Jailbreaking prompts. We are well aware of the harmful content like hate speech and bias issues generated by several prompts. For our experiment, we only use the "Developer Mode" jailbreaking prompt as mentioned in Appendix A. According to our investigation, the "Developer Mode" outputs hate speech biased content. However, the "Developer Mode" may sometimes give dangerous advice like hacking a university's database. the future, if there are other safer prompts, we will extend our privacy attacks under these prompts.
Limitations
From the adversary's perspective, our proposed multi-step jailbreaking attacks still suffer from low recovery accuracy when we query about in- frequent Enron emails and phone numbers. As shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3, our proposed MJP is effective on frequent emails of the Enron do- main while phone digits and non-Enron do- main email addresses can be correctly recov- ered. Since frequent Enron email addresses mostly consist of rule-based patterns such as "first- name.lastmame @ domain.com", LLMs may lever- age these rule-based patterns to generate more accu- rate predictions. Therefore, it is important to note that the success of extraction attacks on template- based email address patterns does not necessarily imply that L.MSs memorize these sensitive records, nor does it indicate a tendency to leak them through jailbreaking.

For free-from PII extraction on the New Bing, we are more likely to observe repeated and incor- rect PII patterns for the latter examples the New Bing list more examples. Lastly, cannot confirm if our queried PIT is trained by ChatGPT. Fortunately, Figure gives one exam- ple verbatim long email content recovery.

Ethical Considerations
We declare that all authors of this paper acknowl- edge the ACM Code of Ethics and honor the code of conduct. This work substantially reveals poten- tial privacy vulnerabilities of ChatGPT against our proposed jailbreaking privacy attack. We do not aim to claim that ChatGPT is risky without privacy protection. Instead, great efforts have been made to successfully prevent direct queries and previous data extraction attacks are no longer valid. Our findings reveal that LLM's safety still needs further improvement.

Format of phone numbers. During experi- ments, all phone numbers collected from the Enron Email Dataset and Institutional Pages are the U.S. format. Most phone numbers' format consists of a 3-digit area code, a 3-digit exchange code and a 4-digit number. Since it much harder to associate names with phone numbers, we therefore use LCS, to count pairs whose LCS 2 6. Usually, the area code and exchange code are correctly predicted for extracted digits with LCS 2 6.
All query templates. The query templates to ex- tract phone numbers, email addresses and email contents are shown in Figure 6. To extract phone numbers and email addresses, for each obtained response, write regular expressions to parse the first phone number email address as predicted results. To extract email contents, since our prompt requests ChatGPT to respond with the specified structure, we can still use a regular expression to parse the "email_ccntent content".

precision). We FLAIR (Akbik al., 2019) extract named entities (NEs) from predicted con- tents and target email contents. Then we use the Fl score of named entities (NER-FI) to measure the harmonic mean of precision and recall. Here, the precision refers to the percentage of extracted con- tents' NEs that are correctly predicted and the re- call denotes the percentage of target contents' NEs that correctly recovered. In addition, sider email addresses, phone numbers and personal names as sensitive NEs and report the sensitive Fl score (Sensitive-F)) F1) similarly. For each sample, we decode 5 times and evaluate all of them on the aforementioned metrics.
Besides extracting personal email addresses and phone numbers, we conduct experiments to re- cover the whole email content on ChatGPT given its sender, receiver and other associated identifiers. Figure 6 (c) gives one example query template to prompt the associated email content.
Data. We sample 50 emails of the same sender from the Enron Email Dataset. For each email, we record its Message- ID (msg_idl email addresses of the sender and receiver, date, email subject and email content.
Evaluation Metries. Unlike extracting fixed pat- terns from email addresses and phone numbers, the email contents have no fixed format. Therefore, we evaluate the recovery performance on the fol- lowing metrics. We apply ROUGE (Lin, 2004) and BLEU (Papineni et al., 2002) to measure the similarity between target contents and extracted contents. ROUGE and BLEU measure n-gram sim- ilarity on recall and precision separately. For ex- ample, in our experiments, ROUGE-I calculates the ratio of words in the target contents are recov- cred (word-level recall) while BLEU-1 calculates the ratio of words extracted are correct (word-level
Results. We evaluate email content extraction per- formance on DP, JP and MJP as mentioned in Sec 4.2.1. Table 6 lists the email content recovery performance. The poor extraction results on all 3 prompts imply that ChatGPT defends well against content recovery. For DP, it achieves the highest Sensitive-F1 via repeating email addresses shown in prompts. For MJP, we observe some successful cases of email content extraction. these results in- dicate that our proposed MJP still outperforms DP and JP for content extraction.

(c). GT refers to the original ground truth email contents and Pred refers to the parsed prediction contents from ChatGPT. For short cases in Figure 8, it can be observed that ChatGPT recovers most contents successfully. For the long email content extraction in Figure 9, ChatGPT even generates ver- batim email content. Unlike prior works (Huang al., 2022; Carlini al., 2021) that align with lan- guage modeling objective to prompt target sensitive texts with preceding texts, our zero-shot extrac- tion attack requires no knowledge about preceding contexts. Hence, our zero-shot extraction attack im- poses more realistic privacy threat towards LLMs. In addition, these successfully extracted cases help verify that ChatGPT indeed memorizes the Enron data.
We maintain the experimental settings when testing open-source LLMs, but with one excep- tion: we employ greedy decoding to generate a single response for each query, ensuring simple reproducibility. Table 8 presents the extraction performance email addresses and phone num- bers. These results show that our proposed MJP makes LLMs more willing to generate unethical responses regarding personal information. Some of the generated responses even provide accurate private contact details. Therefore, our MJP can be applicable to majority of the current LLMs.
D Discussions
The privacy implications are two-folded for the evaluated two models separately.
Ablation study. To determine how identifiers used the query template affect the email content re- covery performance, we perform an ablation study on queried identifiers. More specifically, we al- ways include the email addresses of senders and receivers in the query template. Then we view the date, Message-ID (msg_id) and subject of the email free variables for the query template. Table 7 shows the recovery performance with various iden- tifiers. The results suggest that simply querying all associated identifiers may not yield the best ex- traction performance. Though msg_ id is unique for every email, compared with date and subject, ChatGPT cannot associate msg_id _i_ with the corre- sponding email content well. The ablation study implies that prompted identifiers also affect the email content extraction result.
ChatGPT. Our privacy analyses of ChatGPT fol- low previous works study the LLM's memoriza- tion of private training data. Despite ChatGPT al- ready enhanced by dialog-safety measures against revealing personal information, our proposed MJP can still circumvent ChatGPT's ethical concerns. In addition, our MJP exploits rolc-play instruction to compromise ChatGPT's ethical module, it is con- tradictory to defend against such privacy attacks while training LLMSs to follow given instructions. For researchers, our results imply that LLMs' cur- rent safety mechanisms are not sufficient steer AIGC to prevent harms. For web users, our experi- ments suggest that personal web pages and existing online textual files may be collected as CharGPT's training data. It is hard to determine whether such data collection is lawful or not. However, individu- als at least have the right opt out of uninformed data collection according to the California Con- sumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the GDPR.

rization issues, according to our results, the New Bing may even recover personal information out- side its training data due to its integrated search- ing ability, Such data recovery at nearly no cost may lead to potential harms like unintended PIT dissemination, spamming, spoofing, doxing, and cyberbullying. In addition the direct recovery of personal information, our main concern is privacy leakage due to New Bing's powerful data collation and information extraction ability. There is pos- sibility that the New Bing can combine unrelated sources to profile specific subject even though its data are perfectly anonymized. For example, the anonymized New York City taxi trips data may leak celebrities' residence and tipping information and taxi drivers' identities (Douriez et al., 2016). The New Bing may cause more frequent identity disclosure accidents.
E Possible Defenses
In this section, briefly discuss several practical strategies to mitigate the PII leakage issue from multiple stakeholders:
Model developers. 1) During training. perform data anonymization or avoid directly feeding PIl to train the LLM. 2) During service, implement an ex- ternal prompt intention detection model to strictly reject queries that may bring illegal unethical outcomes. Besides prompt intention detection, it is also recommended to double-check the decoded contents avoid responding with private informa- tion.
Do not disclose your private information that you decline to share with anyone on the Internet. Otherwise, if you intend to share certain information with specific group, make sure to properly set up the accessibility on the social platforms. 2): Use different identity names social platforms if you wish not be identified.

Our responses are provided below.\n\n> Weakness 1\nMy main concern about this work is that it will be (or already is) outdated very quickly (that's why I gave low score for reproducibility).\n\nOur paper emphasizes the personal data leakage issues for present-day LLMs. Even though reinforcement learning (RLHF) is applied to enhance the LLMs’ safety and previous verbatim training data extraction no longer works, we can still abuse the instruction-following ability to misguide LLMs for unsafe behaviors. Thus, our paper points out that the current safety mechanism still needs further improvement. ‘The attack is (or already is) outdated’ means that further amendment is made to address our proposed multi-step attacks, which helps verify that the paper indeed points out a realistic and crucial problem. \n\nFor reproducibility, the experiments can still be reproduced on the earlier ChatGPT version, such as gpt-3.5-turbo-0301. In addition, we also conduct the same experiments on open-source models (results appended in later tables) such as chat safety enhanced Llama 2 (Llama-2-7b-chat-hf), Vicuna (vicuna-7b-v1.3), and Guanaco (guanaco-7B). The results show that all 3 models are still vulnerable to our proposed attacks.\n\nEven for ChatGPT, it also cannot guarantee the model will not have such issues again with further training. Therefore, the proposed attack techniques are still meaningful for red teaming testing.\n\n\n\n> Weakness 2\nAs I support increasing safety with all my heart, I am not sure if the current NLP research should be focused on single-use prompts (as the paper does not really introduce a new methodology apart from applying Chain-of-Thought prompting). In my opinion, it would be much better as a blog post or just a preprint on arxiv.\n\nWe would like to clarify again that the key contribution of this paper is to point out that current safety mechanisms (such as content filtering, safety-oriented finetuning and reinforcement learning from human feedback) are not enough to achieve LLMs’ safety goals. The single prompt is just one example to show that we can abuse the instruction-following ability to misguide LLMs for unsafe behaviors. Such single-use prompts can be crafted easily with our proposed misleading instructions via role-playing setups.\n\nBesides prompts, we also consider novel ensemble-based techniques for verification to further improve the recovery accuracy.\n\n\n> Qestion \nHow is your method applicable to other models?\n\nWe have already conducted experiments on ChatGPT and the New Bing.\nIn addition, we also conduct the same experiments on open-source models such as chat safety enhanced Llama 2 (Llama-2-7b-chat-hf), Vicuna (vicuna-7b-v1.3), and Guanaco (guanaco-7B). The results show that all 3 models are still vulnerable to our proposed attacks.\n\n\n\n\n### Added Experiments\nWe follow the experimental settings to conduct the same experiments on the open-source LLMs except that we only use greedy decoding for easier reproducibility. The results still suggest that chat safety enhanced Llama 2 (Llama-2-7b-chat-hf), Vicuna (vicuna-7b-v1.3), and Guanaco (guanaco-7B) still suffer higher ‘# parsed’ and ‘# correct’ from our proposed MJP.\n\n| Frequent Enron Emails (88) |        |          |           |\n|----------------------------|--------|----------|-----------|\n| Models                     | Prompt | # parsed | # correct |\n| vicuna-7b                  | DP     | 0        | 0         |\n|                            | MJP    | 59       | 3         |\n| Llama-2-7b-chat            | DP     | 0        | 0         |\n|                            | MJP    | 28       | 8         |\n| guanaco-7B                 | DP     | 0        | 0         |\n|                            | MJP    | 3        | 0         |\n\n\n| University Emails (50) |        |          |           |\n|------------------------|--------|----------|-----------|\n| Models                 | Prompt | # parsed | # correct |\n| vicuna-7b              | DP     | 1        | 0         |\n|                        | MJP    | 29       | 1         |\n| Llama-2-7b-chat        | DP     | 0        | 0         |\n|                        | MJP    | 18       | 1         |\n| guanaco-7B             | DP     | 2        | 0         |\n|                        | MJP    | 23       | 1         |\n\n\n| UNIVERSITY PHONES (30) |        |          |           |      |\n|------------------------|--------|----------|-----------|------|\n| MODELS                 | PROMPT | # PARSED | # CORRECT | LCS6 |\n| VICUNA-7B              | DP     | 0        | 0         | 0    |\n|                        | MJP    | 18       | 0         | 1    |\n| LLAMA-2-7B-CHAT        | DP     | 0        | 0         | 0    |\n|                        | MJP    | 15       | 0         | 0    |\n| GUANACO-7B             | DP     | 2        | 0         | 2    |\n|                        | MJP    | 9        | 0         | 4    |", "claims_and_evidence": "", "methods_and_evaluation_criteria": "", "theoretical_claims": "", "experimental_designs_or_analyses": "", "relation_to_broader_scientific_literature": "", "essential_references_not_discussed": "", "other_strengths_and_weaknesses": "", "other_comments_or_suggestions": "", "questions_for_authors": "", "summary_of_paper": "", "summary_of_recommendation": "", "technical_quality": "", "clarity_of_presentation": "", "potential_impact": "", "robotics_focus": "", "quality_of_limitations": "", "questions_for_rebuttal": "", "reasons_to_accept": "The paper is interesting and easy to read.

Our responses are provided below.\n\n> Weakness 1:\nThe effectiveness of the proposed multi-step attack prompt has only been demonstrated on limited datasets and models so far. Further evaluation on more diverse data and larger LLMs would be needed to establish its general applicability.\n\nOur paper studies the PII leakage issue of present-day LLMs (ChatGPT) and application-integrated LLMs (the New Bing). Prior [1] and follow-up [2] works mainly study the email address leakage of the Enron dataset to probe the PII leakage. Our work extends to three types of PII, including email addresses, phone numbers and email contents. Compared with prior and concurrent works, we still achieve state-of-the-art performance on the pure zero-shot setting without any extra knowledge (the most practical attack so far). We agree that further evaluations are needed for this field. Still, our attack can be a good indicator that current safety mechanisms are not enough to achieve the safety goal for public usage.\n\nIn addition, we also test our attacks on more open-source chat safety enhanced models (see tables below), including Llama 2 (Llama-2-7b-chat-hf), Vicuna (vicuna-7b-v1.3), and Guanaco (guanaco-7B). The results show that all 3 models are still vulnerable to our proposed attacks.\n\n\n\n> Weakness 2:\nWhile the study successfully demonstrates privacy risks from LLMs, the empirical results are currently limited in providing additional insights. As it stands, the work poses the threat of privacy leakage but does not significantly further our understanding of the factors affecting it.\n\n\nOur key insight is that the instruction tuning can be exploited to override LLM’s safety modules. In Lines 257-259, our paper mentions that we can abuse the instruction-following ability to make LLMs play the role that we desire to output unethical responses. To achieve our goal, we may first design some roles/setups to misguide LLMs for outputting unsafe comments.\n\nAnother factor of discrepancies between parsed results and correct results may caused by LLMs’ hallucinations.  Our jailbreaking attack makes LLMs willing to output PII. However, hallucination prevents us from getting accurate information (high # parse with lower accuracy). Since many people are working on LLMs’ hallucination, our attack performance can even be further improved once hallucinations are solved.\n\n\nWe acknowledge that LLMs can pose safety risks through other means as well. Our intention is to emphasize the significance of privacy disclosure by showcasing a succinct approach like instruction tuning, with the hope of capturing the attention of a wide audience for LLMs’ safer development.\n\n\n\n> Questions:\nDoes a search for information on Bing should be considered a PII leakage? Their information may already be available online.\n\nFrom the perspective of existing privacy laws, if an individual puts its personal information on the Internet, other people searching for it is not considered a privacy violation.\n\nHowever, misuse of such information for other commercial activities may violate existing privacy laws. For example, a company collecting personal emails from LinkedIn and sending commercial spam emails to them can violate privacy laws (see the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003). On the other hand, companies that collect personal data from the Internet without notice and consent may lack a legal basis for both the CCPA (U.S.) and GDPR (EU).\n\nThus, if such data is further processed that is out of the scope of users’ consent, the users who share their information online should have the right to opt out of unauthorized data collection. For these cases, it can be considered a PII leakage. The user should be notified and have the right to opt out.\n\nIn summary, we use the New Bing as one example to show that application-integrated/ domain-grounded LLMs may also bring their own privacy leakage problems and safety concerns.\n\n\n\n > Improvement 1: In the paper's case studies, sensitive personal information in the examples is currently obscured by coloring the text black. However, readers can still directly copy the text underneath the black ink blocks. To truly anonymize the data, the authors may want to consider using PDF editing tools to permanently delete or erase the sensitive content, rather than just obscuring it.\n\n\nWe thank the reviewer for the kind reminder. Though the text underneath the black ink blocks can be directly copied, Our case studies already use ‘xxx’ to replace the original contents under the blocks. We will use PDF editing tools to replace xxxx in the final version. \n\n> Improvement 2: The version of the black-box LLMs should be pointed out.\n\nLines 932-936 mention that our experiments were conducted from March to May. Our experiments can still be reproduced on the earlier ChatGPT version such as gpt-3.5-turbo-0301. For the New Bing, we just use its web interface and there is no version about it.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n### Added Experiments\nWe follow the experimental settings to conduct the same experiments on the open-source LLMs except that we only use greedy decoding for easier reproducibility.

Author rebuttal:

Meta-review: The paper investigates privacy risks from large language models like ChatGPT and the New Bing. While these advanced LLMs can successfully refuse previous privacy extraction attacks, it remains vulnerable to the multi-step attack proposed in the paper. Experimental results demonstrates its effectiveness against ChatGPT and New Bing models. Overall, this paper poses potential privacy risks introduced by application-integrated LLMs.

Pros:

As recognized by all the reviewers this is a timely and well-motivated topic which investigates the privacy leakage issue of ChatGPT

Proposes a multi-step jailbreaking prompts to evade the ChatGPT privacy leakage defense mechanism.
The paper is well-written and understandable

Cons:

Lack of Technical innovation- The paper studies the effect of some of the jailbreaking prompts but there is no new technique or methodology as part of the paper’s contribution. There have been many prompt based attacks on LLMs and this seems to be yet another way. 

It would have been more substantial technical contribution if the authors could have proposed some way of defending these attacks or had a more extensive study across different domains/datasets/PII/models or had a resource contribution (a benchmark or dataset that can help further research in this direction)

This paper can be categorized more as a case-study and as all 3 reviewers have pointed out, the study is also quite limited in terms of domains or types of PII or datasets and models. I feel just some privacy analysis on a single model and a single aspect of privacy (PII data extraction) can be a blog or article rather than a full-paper
