Researchers used Claude to hack OpenAI

Researchers used Anthropic's Claude tool to gain unauthorized access to an OpenAI employee's ChatGPT account and read private software details. The breach was conducted as part of a paid security testing program designed to identify vulnerabilities before malicious actors could exploit them. The incident underscores security gaps at OpenAI and raises broader concerns about safety practices at leading artificial intelligence (AI) companies.

Why it matters: OpenAI and other AI providers need to assess whether their current access controls and monitoring can detect sophisticated attacks using rival AI tools; security teams should review which third-party AI services have permissions in their environments.
