The Bug Bounty Program was established to address concerns about privacy and cybersecurity in response to recent restrictions in several nations and heightened concerns about security vulnerabilities.
OpenAI invited security experts, ethical hackers, and tech enthusiasts worldwide to participate in its bug bounty program. Participants will be rewarded for providing relevant vulnerability information, which will significantly contribute to maintaining the security of OpenAI’s systems and ensuring the safety of its users.

On March 20, 2023, there was a data breach on OpenAI’s platform that resulted in user information being made available to another user due to a flaw in an open-source library.
