We believe meaningful transparency requires more than publishing our own account. It also means giving credible external experts the access needed to examine the evidence, challenge our understanding, and reach their own conclusions.

We have conducted a thorough investigation into the Hugging Face incident.
We are releasing a technical report and accompanying blog post that reconstruct the agents’ activity, explain why existing safeguards failed, and detail how we’re preventing recurrence.

Our Black Hat talk on the OpenAI-Hugging Face incident is now live on youtube.
This is a watershed moment for the industry. I encourage all defenders to watch, consider how attack dynamics will imminently change, and plan for accelerating defense.

We're detailing two new incidents that occurred during external cyber evaluations conducted by independent evaluation partners.
We outline what happened, how the activity was contained, and how we’re working with evaluators to strengthen our approach to third-party testing.

Black Hat invited us to speak tomorrow about the Hugging Face incident. Given its complexity, we think it’s important to share what happened, what we learned, what we’re changing, and what this means for AI security and alignment. We still plan to publish a technical postmortem once the review is complete.
🚨ANNOUNCEMENT: Don’t miss "The 'Breaking' News: The OpenAI–Hugging Face Incident - A Technical Reconstruction and Its Implications for AI” — Join us at Black Hat USA 2026 for an exclusive deep-dive into one of the most significant AI security incidents in history.
When AI Goes Rogue. The Incident That Changed Everything. An OpenAI evaluation agent broke out of its sandbox, infiltrated Hugging Face infrastructure, and attempted to steal test answers—all autonomously. No human involved. The era of AI-driven cyberattacks is here. Are you prepared?
Featuring Michael Dalton | Technical Staff, OpenAI
Eric Wallace | Researcher, OpenAI
📍Wednesday, August 5 | 1:00pm-1:40pm ( Oceanside A, Level 2 )

We’ve spent a lot of time on the framework underneath Codex, so it can move quickly on routine work while stopping for review when the risk changes.
Here’s how we use sandboxing, approvals, network policy, and telemetry to run Codex safely @OpenAI:

Starting at @OpenAI this week!
Grateful to have spent the last 6 years at Apple leading incident response both as a individual contributor and manager.
Lots of macOS research on the horizon among other things, including agentic workflows for detection & response.

My team at Apple has multiple openings available, including Tech Lead position for a high visibility, high impact project, and a senior IC role that will involve working with half of the operating system (and design) to deliver an integrated and reliable user experience.
This is an opportunity to join a great team with far-reaching impact across Apple! If you’ve been interested in or are currently writing detection as code at scale, please take a look. jobs.apple.com/en-il/details…
