OpenAI has announced a partnership with security firm Hacktron to identify vulnerabilities in OpenAI's systems, emphasizing interactions with third-party services. Hacktron will receive expanded access to frontier AI models through Daybreak Red to conduct offensive security testing and red teaming alongside OpenAI engineers.
On November 6, 2026, OpenAI announced a collaboration with security research firm Hacktron to find and fix vulnerabilities in its systems. According to the announcement, OpenAI engineers and Hacktron researchers will jointly select high-priority testing areas, focusing on how OpenAI systems interact with third-party services. As part of this agreement, Hacktron will gain expanded access to OpenAI's frontier models via Daybreak Red. OpenAI noted that Hacktron builds AI agents designed for code review, penetration testing, and red teaming across cloud infrastructure and identity systems. The announcement also referenced OpenAI's broader security initiatives, including a recent collaboration with Cathedral researchers and increased bug bounty rewards for independent security findings.
Key takeaways
- OpenAI and Hacktron engineers will collaborate to test high-priority areas, focusing on third-party service interactions.
- Hacktron receives expanded access to OpenAI frontier models through Daybreak Red for security research and red teaming.
- OpenAI previously engaged Hacktron through its bug bounty program and highlighted the firm's AI agents for code review and penetration testing.
- The move follows other OpenAI security measures, including working with Cathedral researchers and raising bug bounty rewards.
