OpenAI teams up with Hacktron to hunt vulnerabilities in its systems
OpenAI partners with Hacktron to locate bugs, test third‑party connections and boost defenses for frontier AI.
OpenAI announced a partnership with security firm Hacktron.
The collaboration is meant to find vulnerabilities in OpenAI’s systems.
