Summary OpenAI found no user data breach after a TanStack npm supply-chain attack; CEO Sam Altman faces self-dealing claims from Musk, state AGs, and a U.S. congressional probe.
(Reuters) - OpenAI said on Wednesday it found no evidence that its user data was accessed after a security issue involving a supply-chain attack on TanStack npm, an open-source library.
OpenAI Chief Executive Sam Altman holds more than $2 billion in companies that have done business with the artificial intelligence company, a court document showed as Altman faces claims of self-dealing from state attorneys general and Elon Musk, as well as a U.S. congressional investigation.
The list of investments was shown in court on Tuesday in hearings on Musk's lawsuit seeking $150 billion in damages as well as Altman’s removal as an officer and board member. Musk's claims include breach of charitable trust and unjust enrichment. Altman has rejected those claims and in court described recusing himself from key discussions with companies in which he invested.
Ten U.S. attorneys general on Tuesday also asked the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to scrutinize documents from OpenAI ahead of an expected initial public offering, and the U.S. House of Representatives' Committee on Oversight and Government Reform last week asked Altman for information on OpenAI policies to prevent conflicts of interest.
