TLDR
Forbes reports that cybersecurity researchers used Anthropic's Claude to breach OpenAI's internal system through a bug bounty program. A researcher disclosing “HEIF Heist” says the months-long investigation into libheif, an image library used by many apps, enabled hacks of OpenAI and other platforms. MTSlive quotes Hacktron's founder saying Claude Code did not hack OpenAI on its own: prior knowledge of OpenAI's infrastructure helped direct the work, and the AI still needed human guidance.
