3 Indian-origin researchers used Claude to breach OpenAI systems in 72 hours

Three Indian-origin cybersecurity researchers at Hacktron AI used Anthropic’s Claude models while investigating vulnerabilities that ultimately gave them access to OpenAI employee accounts and a private GitHub environment, according to reports. Harsh Jaiswal, Mohan Pedhapati and Rahul Maini said the work took less than 72 hours and cost under $3,000 in AI tokens. OpenAI later awarded them a $6,500 bounty.
