Despite being able to thwart attempts from elite hackers, the "AI Superstar" OpenAI found itself embroiled in a metadata leak for some of its API users. This breach occurred due to an inadvertent click on a phishing text message by an employee of its supply chain partner, Mixpanel. The consequence? Hackers gained access to and exported sensitive logs containing customer names, emails, locations, device information, and more. Mixpanel kept silent about the incident for a staggering 16 days before reporting it, an act that infuriated OpenAI, leading them to permanently sever ties with Mixpanel and issue a stern warning to users to stay vigilant against phishing scams.
