OpenAI pays outside firm Hacktron to attack its own systems

Why it matters

If you build on OpenAI, your risk includes its links to other services, so ask what testing covers them.

Ask your team

Has anyone tested the connections between our systems and third-party AI services for security weaknesses?

What happened

OpenAI has brought in security firm Hacktron to hunt for weaknesses in its own systems, check how they link up with outside services, and harden its defences using advanced AI.

Watch next

Watch whether OpenAI publishes what Hacktron found or fixed.
