The FBI has arrested a Saudi employee of OpenAI on suspicion of possible espionage, raising concerns about the company's security. Abdulrahman Alfozan, a 35-year-old engineer, is accused of installing a hidden microphone in a meeting room at OpenAI's U.S. headquarters. Director of the FBI, Kash Patel, stated that Alfozan concealed the device in a building in San Francisco to capture "sensitive communications about superintelligence technology" (IA).
Alfozan, who had been working for OpenAI since July 2025, was fired following the incident. He was arrested on October 9th and appeared before a federal U.S. court on Tuesday.
OpenAI staff discovered a device with encrypted content enveloped in toilet paper and connected to a USB port at the back of a television in the meeting room. The denunciation claims that the meetings "frequently included conversations about highly confidential technical, commercial, and strategic information," as well as "proprietary research, product plans, and business development opportunities" belonging to the company.
