在OpenAI顶级机密会议室发现隐藏的录音设备
Recording device hidden in toilet paper found in top-secret OpenAI meeting room
FBI指控沙特裔工程师Abdulrahman Alfozan在OpenAI机密会议室藏录音设备，意图窃取涉及技术、政府和商业合作的高敏感信息，并威胁国家安全。该USB设备被Alfozan用卫生纸包裹后插入电视后部，OpenAI于9月30日发现并确认内容加密，10月5日安装摄像头后监控录像显示Alfozan试图取回设备。Alfozan作为OpenAI工程师任职一年后被逮捕。
It took OpenAI two days to notice that a recording device was hidden in a restricted executive conference room where leadership met to discuss highly confidential information, including technical progress, government engagements, and commercial partnerships.
Only those with special clearance are supposed to access that room. But the FBI believes the recording device was planted by Abdulrahman Alfozan, a 35-year-old engineer from Saudi Arabia, who became a permanent US legal resident in 2020. In a press release Tuesday announcing his arrest, the FBI alleged that chatbot logs and CCTV footage suggested that Alfozan—who worked as an OpenAI engineer for more than a year—sought to use the device to spy on OpenAI and risked leaking trade secrets in a way that threatened national security.
To conceal the USB device, Alfozan allegedly wrapped it in toilet paper, then plugged it into the back of a conference room television. The device was likely planted on September 28, and OpenAI found it on September 30 and quickly determined that its contents were encrypted, the FBI said. Days later, on October 5, OpenAI installed a camera in that conference room, and the CCTV footage allegedly showed Alfozan attempting to retrieve the recording device that same day.
