In 2023, a hacker breached OpenAI's internal messaging systems, gaining access to details about the company's A.I. technologies. The security breach, which occurred last year, raised concerns about the potential for foreign adversaries, such as China, to exploit similar vulnerabilities. OpenAI informed its staff about the breach but did not make the incident public or notify the FBI. The hacker accessed internal discussions among researchers and employees but did not obtain the code behind OpenAI's systems, according to the New York Times.
