According to foreign media reports cited by ChainCatcher, OpenAI employees warned management before ChatGPT was launched that the company had granted overly broad access to code and research materials, raising the risk that sensitive technology could leak. The reported internal issues included wide access to code repositories and research documents being broadly stored across GitHub and Slack. OpenAI has since strengthened its security setup and is preparing to launch a new round of dedicated security measures. The report focuses on internal access control and information handling rather than any disclosed breach, and the cited concerns were framed as risks raised by employees before the product’s release.
