OpenAI faces California DOJ subpoena amid growing cybersecurity incident notices

California's attorney general subpoenaed OpenAI for details on model security and cyberattack risks.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta served OpenAI an investigative subpoena seeking details on model security and whether its systems could enable cyberattacks. The office opened the inquiry in September after a Hugging Face cyberattack. The action follows reports that the U.S. Federal Trade Commission is escalating a probe into OpenAI and other AI developers. Bonta said frontier-model developers can be held legally accountable if they fail to prevent models from enabling attacks.

Cybercrooks trawl Fishbrain to net password hashes

Fishing app Fishbrain disclosed a breach exposing names, emails, and password hashes with salts for users of its 20-million-member platform.

Fishbrain AB disclosed to the California Attorney General's Office that attackers accessed user data on August 19, 2026, taking names, dates of birth, email addresses, phone numbers, usernames, country information, password hashes, and salts. The company said passwords were not stored in plaintext but some hashes may be susceptible to cracking; it patched the exploited vulnerability, reset all user passwords, and restricted access to the affected environment. Fishbrain, which claims more than 20 million users, did not disclose how many accounts were affected or which hashing algorithm was used.
