Hacker infiltrated OpenAI’s messaging system and ‘stole details’ about AI tech: Report

A hacker gained access to the internal messaging systems at OpenAI last year, it was reported. The hacker also stole details about the design of the company’s artificial intelligence technologies, the New York Times reported, after they lifted details from discussions in an online forum where employees talked about OpenAI’s latest technologies. Citing people in the know, the report claimed that the hacker did not get into systems where OpenAI houses and builds its AI.

In April last year, OpenAI executives informed employees and company’s board at an all-hands meeting about the breach, the report claimed. As no information about customers or partners had been stolen, it was decided not to share the details with the public.
