Hackers Used Anthropic's Claude to Breach OpenAI Employee Accounts in Under 72 Hours

A trio of independent security researchers at Hacktron reportedly compromised OpenAI employee accounts in less than 72 hours using Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.8 and 5, the Wall Street Journal reports. The breach gave them access to OpenAI's internal GitHub repository, known as Monorepo, which allegedly houses the company's core algorithmic secrets. Rather than extracting code, the researchers submitted a pull request from a compromised employee Codex account as proof of access. The entry point was Discourse, a third-party platform that hosts OpenAI's community forum. The incident raises fresh concerns about supply-chain vulnerabilities and the use of AI tools to conduct sophisticated cyberattacks.

FCC waives foreign ownership cap, lets Gulf sovereign funds hold 49.5% of Paramount

The FCC under Chair Brendan Carr has approved a waiver of its 25% foreign equity ownership limit in connection with the Paramount-Warner Bros. deal. The decision allows sovereign wealth funds controlled by the governments of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi to collectively hold a 49.5% stake in the merged media company. Critics have noted a contrast with the Carr FCC's aggressive scrutiny of domestic broadcasters, including repeated threats against ABC and attempts to restrict airings of Democratic interviews. The commission defended its ruling, though details of that justification were not fully disclosed. The move raises questions about the FCC's priorities regarding foreign influence over major American media conglomerates.
