The OpenAI Hack Shows the Genie Is Out of the Bottle

This essay originally appeared in Foreign Policy. Earlier this month, two of OpenAI’s models broke out of their containment sandbox and attacked another AI company. The story is kind of wild. OpenAI was running security tests on two of its models: GPT-5.6 Sol and an unreleased model that is almost certainly GPT-6. In particular, it was running the ExploitGym benchmark, which measures how good a model is at turning security vulnerabilities into working exploits: basically, offensive cyberattacks. Since these were internal tests, OpenAI locked those models in a secure sandbox that denied them access to the internet. But it was running the models without any safety filters that would prevent them from offensive cyber-actions. That meant that there was nothing to prevent the models from trying to

OpenAI reveals how criminals used ChatGPT to run scams

OpenAI banned a coordinated network of ChatGPT accounts that likely originated in Cambodia’s Preah Sihanouk province, a region reports have linked to online scam compounds and human trafficking operations. The network used the company’s models to create and manage fake online personas, generate and translate messages sent to scam targets, produce promotional content for fraudulent schemes, and support daily operations. Earlier this year, a lead from WhatsApp prompted OpenAI to investigate and disrupt a Cambodia-based … More → The post OpenAI reveals how criminals used ChatGPT to run scams appeared first on Help Net Security.

Hugging Face Diffusers Flaws Could Let Model Repositories Execute Arbitrary Code

Three high-severity security flaws have been disclosed in Hugging Face’s Diffusers library that could allow crafted model repositories to stealthily execute arbitrary code on machines that load it, opening the artificial intelligence (AI) supply chain to security risk. “These vulnerabilities are bypassing trust_remote_code, the safeguard designed to stop unreviewed code from running in the
