Why you should sanitize logs before pasting into AI

Published: 2026-02-27

When you paste logs into an AI chat, you may accidentally leak:

• API keys and tokens (Bearer, OAuth, session cookies)
• Emails and phone numbers
• Internal URLs and infrastructure details
• Private key blocks

Aimasker helps reduce this risk by masking common patterns locally in your browser.

Quick checklist

1. Remove tokens and API keys
2. Remove emails/phone numbers
3. Remove internal URLs
