OpenAI Hack in April 2023: Undisclosed Until Now
In April 2023, OpenAI experienced a hack that was not disclosed to the public until recently, as reported by CNBC’s Deirdre Bosa. Hackers infiltrated OpenAI’s internal messaging system, accessing confidential discussions among employees but not more critical systems where the technology is developed and stored. OpenAI decided against public disclosure or notifying law enforcement, citing the absence of customer or partner data theft and no ties to foreign governments. However, cybersecurity experts argue that reporting such incidents could help mitigate broader threats. OpenAI has since addressed the security issue and continues to invest in strengthening its defenses.
Additionally, the video marks the one-year anniversary of Instagram’s Threads, highlighting its surprising resilience and growth. Despite an initial surge, Threads now has around 175 million monthly active users, indicating sporadic rather than habitual use. The discussion also touches on Mark Zuckerberg’s social media prowess and his public persona, referencing his recent Fourth of July surf video.
Overall, the video underscores the importance of transparency in cybersecurity incidents and the evolving landscape of social media engagement.
