Researchers say OpenAI revoked their access to limited cyber program

OpenAI revoked access to its Trusted Access for Cyber program for multiple cybersecurity researchers without advance notice. The program provides vetted users with models that have fewer safety restrictions. Researchers reported losing connection to tools they relied on for security work.

Why it matters: Security practitioners using TAC for offensive security research or red teaming have lost tooling and need to understand OpenAI's new access criteria and appeal process.
