"Ethical Hackers Could Earn up to $20,000 Uncovering ChatGPT Vulnerabilities"

OpenAI recently announced that it is offering white hat hackers up to $20,000 to find security flaws as part of its bug bounty program launched on April 11, 2023.  The ChatGPT developer announced the initiative as part of its commitment to secure artificial intelligence (AI).  Security experts have scrutinized the company since the launch of the ChatGPT prototype in November 2022.  In its announcement, OpenAI acknowledged that despite its heavy investment in research and engineering to ensure its AI systems are safe and secure, vulnerabilities and flaws can emerge.  The company stated that it believes that transparency and collaboration are crucial to addressing this reality.  That’s why they are inviting the global community of security researchers, ethical hackers, and technology enthusiasts to help them identify and address vulnerabilities in their systems.  On March 23, OpenAI announced it had fixed a vulnerability in ChatGPT4, which had allowed users to view the titles of chats by other users for nine hours on March 20.  Concerns were raised that the bug in the ChatGPT open-source library could lead to privacy concerns.  Recent research by BlackBerry found that 51% of security leaders expect ChatGPT to be at the heart of a successful cyberattack within a year.  The biggest security concerns center around how threat actors could leverage the large language model to launch attacks, including malware development and convincing social engineering scams.
