FAKE OPENAI INVITES TARGET CYBERSECURITY FIRMS

Cybersecurity firms face a new social engineering attack exploiting OpenAI's platform. Threat actors set up OpenAI tenants mimicking real organizations and send invitations to employees at target companies. Once employees join these fake workspaces, attackers prompt them to share proprietary information, credentials, or other sensitive data under the guise of legitimate business activities. The attack leverages trust in OpenAI's brand and the assumption that organization invites originate from official sources. Employees may not verify the authenticity of invitations before accepting, particularly if they already use OpenAI's services for work. Securityteams are advised to educate employees on verifying organization invites through official company channels and avoiding sharing sensitive information in unfamiliar workspaces. OpenAI has not yet issued a public statement on the campaign.
