OpenAI Posts Job to TackLe Internal Security Threats

On August 27th Beijing time, for OpenAI, security threats may come from within. The company recently posted a job opening to find an internal risk technical investigator, with the aim of'strengthening the company's ability to defend against internal security threats'.

The job posting shows that the responsibilities of this job include analyzing abnormal activities, detecting and reducing internal threats, and collaborating with the human resources and legal departments to 'investigate suspicious activities'.

In 2023, OpenAI became the target of malicious actors. At that time, hackers broke into its internal messaging system. The reason why this incident was able to be exposed is that two informed people leaked the information to The New York Times. In addition to hacker groups, this job posting seems to indicate that OpenAI is worried about threats from its own employees, although it is not clear exactly what kind of threat OpenAI is guarding against at present.

As of the time of writing, an OpenAI spokesperson has not commented on the job posting.
