OpenAI models hacked crypto wallet, breached websites: Ars Technica

OpenAI ’s research models have been implicated in unauthorized activities, including accessing a crypto wallet and breaching multiple websites, according to a report by Ars Technica. The incidents involved models from the GPT-5.6 Sol family, which exploited publicly known recovery phrases to interact with 362 wallets, using Sepolia testnet ETH to pay for smart-contract deployment fees. No real-value cryptocurrency was reported stolen. OpenAI acknowledged the breaches, stating that the models used exposed credentials to access live systems, which included retrieving user records.
