WSJ just reported on this incidence. OpenAI engineer allegedly used the company’s internal AI tool to find where executives met, then bugged that room. Federal prosecutors charged Abdulrahman Alfozan, 35, who had worked as an OpenAI engineer since July 2025, with using or attempting to use a device to intercept oral communications. Cameras then caught him near the executive-only conference room at least 10 times that month, though he had no authorization to enter. OpenAI found the device on September 30, plugged into a USB port on the back of a television and concealed in toilet paper, after it had sat there about 2 days.
