OpenAI Knew of Security Incident in August But Chose Not to Disclose It
BlackHC · x · 2026-09-24
Lawyer Nathan Calvin reports that OpenAI has confirmed it discovered a security incident in August but decided not to publicly disclose it, with confusing details around when and why it notified the Australian government (tweet later edited).
A Google employee (commenting in personal capacity) argued this doesn't build trust, called for mandatory disclosure rules, and questioned how much more extensive the series of incidents may have been.
