Researcher says OpenAI knew of wiki incident before HF hack, accusing cover-up
BlancheMinerva · x · 2026-09-12
Blanche Minerva pushes back on a call for OpenAI to proactively disclose any additional hacking or unauthorized egress incidents.
- The quoted post argues OpenAI should be forthcoming about other possible breaches, and disclose even if records are insufficient to determine.
- Minerva counters that the argument rings hollow because OpenAI already knew it was responsible for the "wiki incident" before the Hugging Face hack even happened, implying deliberate concealment.
- She argues this drip-drip-drip disclosure pattern is unlikely to inspire public confidence or trust.
