OpenAI partners with Hacktron to hunt vulnerabilities in its systems
OpenAI announced a partnership with security firm Hacktron to probe high‑priority areas of its AI systems, especially how they interact with third‑party services. The collaboration will give Hacktron expanded access to OpenAI’s frontier models through the Daybreak Red program, allowing deeper testing of model‑driven connections.
Key points
- OpenAI announced a partnership with security firm Hacktron to test high‑priority areas of its systems
- Hacktron will gain expanded access to OpenAI’s frontier models through the Daybreak Red program
- OpenAI raised its bug bounty rewards and earlier teamed with Cathedral’s researchers for a security sprint
Earlier in the week OpenAI said Cathedral’s researchers would join its next security sprint, and the company also raised its bug bounty rewards to encourage independent researchers to report missed flaws. Hacktron, known for building AI agents that perform code review, penetration testing and red‑team exercises, has previously uncovered vulnerabilities in applications, cloud infrastructure and identity systems.
OpenAI hopes the partnership will accelerate its cyber‑defense efforts, using the insights from AI‑enhanced testing to strengthen protections for all users. Researchers can view the scope of eligible systems or submit findings via OpenAI’s Security Bug Bounty program.
