OpenAI Revokes Access for Cybersecurity Researchers in Limited Program
OpenAI revoked access to its Trusted Access for Cyber (TAC) program for multiple researchers due to a technical error, requiring them to reapply for verification. The issue affected users outside the U.S. and Europe, disrupting their ability to use advanced AI models for cybersecurity research.
The idea behind OpenAI's Trusted Access for Cyber program is to give trusted defenders better models so they can report bugs and vulnerabilities to companies, with the aim of getting flaws patched faster.
