Summary
OpenAI disclosed a campaign seeking to extract protected model reasoning at scale and its response. The company says it restricted accounts, closed a reasoning-replay pathway, strengthened output monitoring, and shared findings with industry partners. These are company investigation findings; OpenAI says the incident did not involve breaking encryption or breaching a database to directly access stored user conversations.
