OpenAI eyes security firm purchase amid office bugging scandal

OpenAI is in talks to acquire Trail of Bits (ToB), a cybersecurity firm which counts top crypto projects among its clients, according to a Tuesday report by The Information . The news comes in the wake of a major security incident at the AI giant’s offices, in which it discovered a “sophisticated recording device” in a conference room, planted by an engineer who’s since been arrested by the FBI. ToB is one of the best known and well-respected auditors among crypto projects, with experience in nine blockchain ecosystems , and counting Arbitrum, Uniswap and Aave as clients.
