TechFlame News: Bitcoin Red Team member @Rob1Ham claims that OpenAI has blocked him from continuing his security analysis of the Bitcoin codebase, after he had responsibly disclosed real vulnerabilities found within it.
Rob1Ham says he had already completed identity verification and onboarding related to OpenAI's cybersecurity capabilities, but is now unable to continue investigating whether the fixes are adequate or whether other vulnerabilities still remain. He stated that going forward, he will resume Bitcoin security research using China's open-source AI models. Rob1Ham remarked: "Black hat hackers won't attack these issues—white hat hackers will." He added: "For those who don't follow the rules and cause harm, intelligence knows no limits, while those dedicated to reducing harm are being locked out."
