  "account": "Three Indian-origin cybersecurity researchers from Hacktron AI demonstrated how Anthropic's Claude AI tool could be used to breach parts of OpenAI's internal systems. The team, consisting of Mohan Pedhapati, Harsh Jaiswal, and Rahul Maini, gained access to several ChatGPT and Codex accounts of OpenAI employees, ultimately reaching OpenAI's private GitHub environment. This incident highlights the growing concern that AI-assisted attacks could potentially exploit vulnerabilities in third-party services to gain unauthorized access to complex systems.",
