Hot Take:

OpenAI should consider rebranding to “ClosedAI” with their secretive antics, and maybe hire a few more cybersecurity experts while they’re at it. Who knew AI could be so… human?

Key Points:

  • OpenAI kept a 2023 data breach under wraps, not informing public or law enforcement.
  • MacOS version of ChatGPT had user privacy issues, storing conversations in plain text.
  • New vulnerabilities in Xerox printers and other devices reported.
  • FIA (Formula 1) suffered a data breach due to phishing attacks.
  • New ransomware group “Volcano Demon” is on the rise, targeting Windows systems.
