I've yet to watch the BlackHat breakdown of how the "hack" (felony) proceeded, but being that it's OpenAI, it is safe to assume that the "sandbox" they speak of

I've yet to watch the BlackHat breakdown of how the "hack" (felony) proceeded, but being that it's OpenAI, it is safe to assume that the "sandbox" they speak of was a kitted-out Linux box with unmonitored network access. The test environment was either intentionally setup to produce the outcome that it did or the sheer incompetence of a slop engineer was the catalyst for the crime. OpenAI is just an unscrupulous, childish company.
