OpenAI teams with Hacktron to hunt vulnerabilities: security agents get frontier-model access, with third-party service links in focus
OpenAI announced a partnership with the security firm Hacktron in which engineers from both organizations and Hacktron's security researchers jointly pick high-priority areas to test, focusing on how OpenAI's systems interact with third-party services. OpenAI came to know Hacktron through its Security Bug Bounty program; the team builds AI agents for code review, penetration testing and red teaming, and its research has uncovered vulnerabilities in how applications, cloud infrastructure and identity systems interact. As part of the partnership, OpenAI is expanding Hacktron's access to its frontier models through Daybreak Red.
