STORY: ChatGPT-maker OpenAI has been the victim of a cyber attack. That’s according to reports by the New York Times on Thursday. It says a hacker gained access last year to internal messaging systems. Details of the company’s artificial intelligence products were reportedly stolen.

OpenAI said in May that it had disrupted five covert influence operations that sought to use its AI for “deceptive activity” across the internet.
