OpenAI Collaborates with Startup Cathedral After Anthropic Breach

OpenAI has announced a partnership with cybersecurity startup Cathedral, previously known for its successful breach of competitor Anthropic’s closed systems. This collaboration aims to enhance the security of artificial intelligence models by leveraging top-tier security experts.

Under the new agreement, the Cathedral team will actively test OpenAI’s infrastructure using the company’s advanced models. In response, OpenAI has significantly increased financial incentives for security researchers.

Sharp Increase in Bug Bounty Rewards

The company has raised rewards for finding critical vulnerabilities by more than fourfold. This move is designed to motivate cybersecurity experts to identify and report potential threats before malicious actors can exploit them.

Cathedral’s Previous Success in Bug Bounties

The startup has already demonstrated high-level skills in bug bounty programs. Previously, the team managed to breach Anthropic’s closed systems in just 12 hours.

Such incidents highlight the growing value of hacking as a highly paid profession in digital security. Successfully exploiting vulnerabilities requires deep knowledge and rapid response capabilities.
