Explosive find: Bug in OpenAI conference room - employee arrested
A recording device was discovered in an important conference room of ChatGPT developer OpenAI. After an arrest, the FBI continues to investigate.
A 35-year-old Saudi national has been arrested on suspicion of placing a recording device in a conference room at OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT, where business secrets are often discussed. The device was discovered two weeks ago and had been placed in the USB port of a TV, wrapped in toilet paper, about two days earlier. The suspect, who does not have authorised access to the conference room, was filmed by security cameras in the area and later tried to look behind the TV.
He faces up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 if convicted. The FBI is investigating the case.
