Not entirely surprising. OpenAI has been lurking around the startup realm despite having the finance and people: for years they had no product to bring money in and they had to do something about it. ChatGPT was the perfect place to turn things around and they did. But often when you try to push a product to market, you are forced to cut corners. And in my experience, the most common corners to cut are tests and security. "This is well more than enough" is a very convenient way to lie to yourself and call it a job-well-done.

This seems like a user issue, rather than a OpenAI breach. FTA: > The majority of the dumped credentials were found within logs connected to multiple information stealer malware families. So, at least for the moment, OpenAI's security is not in question.

  Exactly, I am still not clear who got compromised, the users or the platform. Seems like the users. Which is not surprising at all, some of the phones owned by other people that I've had in my hands were so infested that barely anything worked. The amount of malware changing just about anything in the phone was comical.

Why are exposed API keys the responsibility of openai? This has nothing to do with them cutting corners or security.
