Russian comedy duo Vovan and Lexus posed as Ukraine's foreign intelligence chief and fooled three of OpenAI's top national security figures — Sasha Baker, Caroline Zier, and Ben Crampton — in a 17-minute video call where the fake official kept his camera off. The leaked recording covered OpenAI's Pentagon contracts, offensive AI capabilities, Trump's foreign policy, and Musk. OpenAI confirmed the prank and said it investigated and acted internally.
