What happened

Researchers at Hacktron AI used Anthropic's Claude models to hack and gain access to an OpenAI employee's ChatGPT and Codex accounts. They successfully managed to reach connected services including Outlook, Slack, GitHub, and others. The team then stopped testing and reported the issues to Discourse and OpenAI. OpenAI has also confirmed a fix within about 14 hours and paid a $6,500 bounty.
