Security veterans slam OpenAI and Anthropic for threatening researchers and discarding 40 years of disclosure norms
AlexTensor · x · 2026-09-20
Veteran security researcher Robert Graham argues OpenAI and Anthropic are discarding 40 years of cybersecurity community principles that encourage openness and oppose control and retaliation.
- The trigger: OpenAI's CISO (ex-Palantir) reportedly threatened to sue security researchers. IceSolst mocked the contradiction between OpenAI asking how to engage the security community and threatening researchers with lawsuits.
- Graham's core point: the cornerstone of OpenAI/Anthropic's doomer scenarios is rogue AI hacking the internet — and the very thing needed to stop that is the open security community they are trying to destroy.
