OpenAI says it’s investigating after a hacker claimed to have swiped login credentials for 20 million of the AI firm’s user accounts—and put them up for sale on a dark web forum.

The pseudonymous breacher posted a cryptic message in Russian advertising “more than 20 million access codes to OpenAI accounts,” calling it “a goldmine” and offering potential buyers what they claimed was sample data containing email addresses and passwords. As reported by Gbhackers, the full dataset was being offered for sale “for just a few dollars.”

“I have over 20 million access codes for OpenAI accounts,” emirking wrote Thursday, according to a translated screenshot. “If you’re interested, reach out—this is a goldmine, and Jesus agrees.”

If legitimate, this would be the third major security incident for the AI company since the release of ChatGPT to the public. Last year, a hacker got access to the company’s internal Slack messaging system. According to The New York Times, the hacker “stole details about the design of the company’s A.I. technologies.”
