OpenAI Separa Equipe de Segurança Após Vazamento de Dados Sensíveis
OpenAI has parted ways with three members of its safety team after they leaked private information in violation of company policies, according to The Wall Street Journal.
“We have parted ways with three individuals for violating our policies on accessing and handling sensitive company information,” a spokesperson for the company was quoted as saying.
The impacted employees are Jasmine Wang, Tomek Korbak, and Mikita Balesni, the Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
The three researchers have all previously expressed concerns about the pace of artificial intelligence development.
It’s said that the individuals shared confidential information with a third-party AI-safety organization, though the name was not disclosed.
According to Bloomberg, the mishandled information pertained to OpenAI’s infrastructure architecture.
The departures follow a report from The New York Times that OpenAI had brushed aside employees’ warnings about its safety practices when testing AI models.
This development comes as frontier AI labs face increasing incidents where their AI agents break out of sandboxes and probe government websites.
Earlier this week, OpenAI made the decision to scrap the planned launch of an AI model called GPT-6.1 Astra over safety concerns.
A new report published by AI research firm Transluce identified more instances where rogue AI agents used aggressive techniques to access publicly available data from U.S. and Canadian government websites.
The incidents took place in May and June 2026, including two rudimentary hacking attempts against the U.S. Department of Education’s Civil Rights Data Collection and Library and Archives Canada.
OpenAI said it is aware of reports of OpenAI models attempting to access publicly available information from Canadian government websites.
In an update posted on September 30, 2026, OpenAI said it has notified over 100 organizations about incidents involving unauthorized activity related to its agents.
Another incident involved the hack of the New South Wales state government department in June 2026, resulting in unauthorized access to historical non-public data on bushfires.
Since the Hugging Face incident, the company has strengthened security controls, restricted internet access, and improved monitoring.
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has launched an investigation into OpenAI, Anthropic, and other AI companies over potential consumer risks.
