OpenAI Blocks Bitcoin Red Team Member From Security Research Access

OpenAI revoked security analysis access for a Bitcoin Red Team member who previously disclosed vulnerabilities, prompting a shift to Chinese AI models.

Woofun AI reports that OpenAI has restricted @Rob1Ham, a Bitcoin Red Team member, from conducting further security analysis on the Bitcoin codebase. Despite completing authentication and previously disclosing genuine vulnerabilities, he is now barred from verifying remedial measures or identifying remaining risks. He stated he will pivot to Chinese open-source AI models for future research, criticizing the exclusion of white-hat efforts while unrestricted intelligence remains available to malicious actors.
