OpenAI found hidden recorder in executive room; ex-staff say security lapses long reported
Briefing by News4U · First published
ITHome reports that OpenAI discovered a hidden recording device in an executive meeting room in October; five former employees told Reuters they had raised security concerns with management and the board since late 2022, claiming leaders prioritized competition over safeguards and that any code-access employee could view sensitive project details. OpenAI said it is among the most-attacked institutions and has invested heavily in security; it also noted that many sensitive projects are now stored in restricted repositories and that a new chief information security officer is conducting regular reviews. The device was allegedly installed by a 35-year-old Saudi engineer arrested by U.S. authorities on October 13. [1]
