18/09/2026

A team of white-hat hackers from cybersecurity startup Hackron AI has successfully hacked OpenAI using Claude tools. In an X post on September 18, the team claimed they breached OpenAI's internal codebase on July 25 and gained access to the ChatGPT and Codex accounts of some OpenAI employees. They established proof of the hack via a pull request to OpenAI's private repository before reporting the vulnerabilities to OpenAI. The company reportedly fixed the issue within 14 hours of the report and paid the researchers a $6,500 bounty.

> On July 25, our team hacked OpenAI. It took us less than 72 hours.Two vulnerabilities chained together gave us access to ChatGPT and Codex accounts belonging to OpenAI employees. We demonstrated the impact with a harmless PR in OpenAI’s internal monorepo.The full chain:â€ĻSeptember 18, 2026 [https://twitter.com/cantworkitout/status/2100795824812777893]

Operating as hackers under OpenAI’s bug bounty program, Hacktron researchers uncovered critical vulnerabilities that granted them access to internal employee tools and the ability to compromise private software repositories. The researchers exploited a single sign-on (SSO) misconfiguration and a Remote Code Ex*****on (RCE) flaw in Discourse, a third-party platform that powers OpenAI’s community discussion forum. The chain of attack was as follows: HEIF upload → libheif heap overflow → RCE → OpenAI SSO flaw → ChatGPT/Codex takeover → connected GitHub → internal PR.

First, the researchers uploaded a malicious HEIF (High Efficiency Image File) image to the forum as a profile picture. When Discourse’s server-side software tried to process the image using an outdated libheif package, it triggered a heap overflow memory vulnerability, causing the library to crash and mismanage internal system memory. The researchers carefully orchestrated the memory crash to achieve remote code ex*****on. After gaining access to the forum's local server environment, the researchers intercepted the server’s environmental configurations and session handling, discovering an SSO flaw in which the forum's authentication system did not adequately validate or isolate user sessions from other OpenAI services.

Armed with session tokens hijacked from the local forum server database, the hackers exploited the SSO flaw to impersonate a real OpenAI employee, allowing them to bypass traditional login screens and infiltrate a highly privileged internal account linked to OpenAI's development teams. As many tech companies unify authentication across corporate apps, the hijacked employee account was directly linked to OpenAI’s corporate enterprise systems, including GitHub, Slack, and email accounts. The researchers were able to access OpenAI’s massive private codebase, where they initiated an internal Pull Request as definitive proof of the exploit.

Similar to an incident last month in which China-linked hackers used AI to carry out the first-ever end-to-end autonomous cyberattack on Taiwan's government [https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/cyber-security/suspected-china-linked-hackers-used-ai-to-run-the-first-ever-end-to-end-autonomous-cyberattack-on-taiwans-government-israeli-firm-says-open-source-built-tool-continuously-devised-effective-hack-strategies-in-real-time], the Hacktron hack also used artificial intelligence. The researchers constructed the exploit pipeline using Anthropic's Claude Opus 5 model, after attempts with Opus 4.8 failed. After they found the unpatched libheif library on OpenAI's forum, they fed the raw server data into the model, asking it to write an exploit for the bug.

The model analyzed the memory structure and successfully calculated how to trigger the heap buffer overflow. It generated the precise, weaponized code required to create the malicious HEIF image. The human hackers uploaded it to the forum — triggering the Remote Code Ex*****on — then manually executed the rest of the “attack.” An important clarification is that they used an authorized, cybersecurity-configured version of Claude, which relaxes certain cyber restrictions for authorized researchers.

After gaining access, the researchers say they immediately halted testing and reported the vulnerabilities to OpenAI and Discourse — both of which have fixed their sides of the issue — without studying or downloading OpenAI's source code. From the initial finding to full resolution took 72 hours, after which OpenAI rewarded the researchers with a $6,500 bounty. The incident further highlights ongoing concerns over the risk of AI-powered cyberattacks. Recently, rogue OpenAI agents autonomously breached HuggingFace [https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/artificial-intelligence/rogue-openai-models-behind-unprecedented-cybersecurity-incident-teamed-up-to-break-out-of-their-testing-environment-multiple-agents-left-each-other-messages-for-months-communicating-undetected].

The memory chip that makes a router remember how to be a router is a world away from the sleek GPUs that are attracting ...
18/09/2026

The memory chip that makes a router remember how to be a router is a world away from the sleek GPUs that are attracting eye-popping investments and alarming valuations, as well as sending stock markets shooting upwards. They’re small, historically have been cheap, and are based on technology that has been around for years.

But despite being a world away from GPUs, the price of these often overlooked chips is skyrocketing, thanks to the all-encompassing memory price crisis caused by the AI boom.

While public and press attention has focused on the expensive chips, there’s an equally large impact beginning to be felt on older, less attractive memory chips. HBM is vital [https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/semiconductors/hbm-roadmaps-for-micron-samsung-and-sk-hynix-to-hbm4-and-beyond] for AI accelerators, while DRAM and high-capacity NAND are being swallowed up by rapidly expanding data centres. A June report from Morgan Stanley [https://finvaulta.com/research/morgan-stanley/chipflation-navigating-a-memory-crisis-2026-06-02?utm_source=chatgpt.com] reckons memory prices have risen more than sixfold over the last year, breaking with decades in which memory became steadily cheaper as production increased.

It’s not just HBM and DRAM that’s being affected. The crunch is also spreading down into much older forms of memory, including NOR flash and single-level cell, or SLC, NAND [https://www.trendforce.com/presscenter/news/20260616-13102.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com]. Morgan Stanley expects NOR flash to remain undersupplied through 2026, while JPMorgan has warned its forecasts don’t fully capture a potential supply crunch in SLC NAND. The effects are already showing up in prices. TrendForce says contract prices for both NOR flash and SLC NAND rose by more than 100% during the first half of 2026 [https://www.trendforce.com/presscenter/news/20260616-13102.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com], while it expects SLC NAND prices to rise another 120% to 170% in the second half of the year compared with the first half [https://www.trendforce.com/presscenter/news/20260713-13142.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com].

PICKING WINNERS
An increase in prices will have an impact on the tech we use day in, day out. NOR flash is commonly used to store boot and program code, and is a core part of automotive, industrial, and networking equipment [https://www.micron.com/products/storage/nor-flash?utm_source=chatgpt.com]. SLC NAND is deployed across a number of uses because of its reliability and endurance when placed in embedded hardware with long lifespans.

Both are vital. And both are being overlooked in favour of higher-margin chips — pushing the supply crunch to tech that previously never faced any issues. “The SLC NAND market is probably under a billion dollars a year,” said Jim Handy, a semiconductor and SSD analyst at Objective Analysis, in an interview with Tom’s Hardware Premium. That tiny scale adds up to a big problem, because it disincentivises any new investment.

“What you've got going on is a purely economic phenomenon,” said Handy. Hyperscalers and cloud providers are “all trying to outspend each other”, pouring unprecedented sums into semiconductors to build AI infrastructure. That willingness to spend big means the most profitable customers naturally move to the front of the queue.

Companies including Nvidia, Broadcom and Marvell need huge amounts of semiconductor manufacturing capacity for chips destined for AI systems. “They’re sucking up all of the wafers,” says Handy. “And then the companies who make NOR flash and SLC are having a hard time getting wafers to build their product, and so they have to raise prices.”

The problem is even starker in the NAND market. Bryan Ao, research manager at TrendForce, told Tom’s Hardware Premium in an interview that major NAND manufacturers, including Micron, Kioxia and SK Hynix, have been cutting the wafer capacity devoted to SLC because they can make considerably more money using it for newer NAND technologies. Ao estimates that a 12-inch wafer devoted to mainstream NAND can ultimately generate close to $20,000 in revenue. Use the same space to produce SLC and the figure is closer to $6,000 to $8,000.

Even if they wanted to, smaller SLC suppliers in China and Taiwan can’t just spin up new production. Lead times for some semiconductor manufacturing equipment have stretched to between 12 and 15 months, said Ao. The result is what he calls “severe undersupply”.

BIG PRICES, BIG RETURNS
BNP Paribas forecasts the average NAND price will hit $279.50 per terabyte during 2026, up from $73.10 in 2025. JPMorgan expects the memory shortage to persist for at least another two years, with customers getting just 70% to 80% of their orders fulfilled. TrendForce says manufacturers are shifting capacity towards advanced, higher-value memory products [https://www.trendforce.com/research/download/RP260602QZ?utm_source=chatgpt.com], with mature processes increasingly squeezed as a result.

There are some alternatives available. Kioxia says its serial SLC NAND is an alternative to NOR flash [https://www.kioxia.com/content/dam/kioxia/shared/business/memory/slc-nand/asset/productbrief/KIOXIA_Serial_Interface_NAND_Product_Brief.pdf?utm_source=chatgpt.com]. But moving an existing industrial or networking product onto a different chip can itself require engineering work and qualification. Nor is there much incentive for memory manufacturers to fix the problem by building new SLC capacity – which means manufacturers are unlikely to invest billions in capacity whose useful market may disappear. That creates an unusual trap: there may not be enough demand to justify new factories, but there is still more demand than the shrinking supply can satisfy.

Hardware manufacturers can eat the higher component bill and accept lower margins, or pass it on. “We'll just have to either have lower margins, or we'll have to raise the prices to the consumer,” Handy said.

AN ONGOING ISSUE
The problem is one that seems to have no solution – at least in the short term. Ao expects memory prices to remain high over the next five years and does not expect them to return to 2023 or 2024 levels. That broadly fits with the structural nature of the shortage identified by TrendForce, which says there are no significant capacity expansion plans for NOR flash or SLC NAND [https://www.trendforce.com/presscenter/news/20260616-13102.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com].

Handy sees one possible way out, but it is hardly reassuring. “As long as the race between the hyperscalers keeps up to spend, then it will continue to be an issue,” he said.

Handy compares the AI buildout to the internet infrastructure boom of the late 1990s. Rather than enough capacity eventually arriving to restore balance, he thinks spending may simply overshoot what the market can economically support.

“I'm expecting the same kind of a thing to happen here that we've got too many people spending too much money on AI, and not really making any return on it yet,” he said.

Until then, the least exciting memory chips in a computer may become some of the hardest to replace. Or, as Ao put it: “Pretty much we have to get used to this high price, no matter which segment of memory.”

The U.S. House of Representatives just passed a bill that creates a federal standard requiring data centers to pay for grid upgrades made in their favor. H.R. 9340, also known as the Ratepayer Protection Act [https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/9340/text], amends the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978, which would require each State regulatory authority and each non-regulated electric utility to consider the adoption of the bill within two years of its passing, if it is signed into law.

This bill would ensure that data centers with a capacity of 100 megawatts or more would have to pay “the full, incremental cost of any generation, transmission, or distribution upgrade necessary to serve the load of such large-load customer, including in the event of such large-load customer terminating a contract or other agreement with the electric utility pertaining to the sale of electric energy, or otherwise ceasing the purchase of electric energy from the electric utility.” This bill closely follows President Donald Trump’s “Ratepayer Protection Pledge,” [https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/policy/president-trump-expands-ai-data-center-ratepayer-protection-pledge-to-include-state-governors-and-utility-companies-white-house-claims-this-will-make-electricity-more-affordable] where he made AI hyperscalers, utility providers, and state governors promise that they will pay their own way when it comes to their electricity demands. All this stemmed from the surprise price hikes [https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/ai-data-centers-trigger-massive-irreversible-76-percent-electricity-price-spike-in-largest-us-region-federal-watchdog-demands-tech-giants-pay-for-their-own-power-infrastructure] that many residential users and small businesses suffered from because of the massive demand by AI data centers and has become one of the primary reasons [https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/data-centers/polls-show-us-data-center-resistance-is-due-to-concerns-over-object-level-local-environmental-impact-beliefs-and-political-affiliation-had-minimal-impact-on-ai-data-center-views] why the majority of Americans now oppose data center developments in their communities.

Oregon is actually one of the first states to have taken concrete steps in controlling the utility price increases when it passed the POWER Act in 2025. This law is even more stringent, with any development using more than 20 megawatts required to pay its fair share, and has already resulted in a 30% hike for data center electricity bills [https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/data-centers/power-company-hikes-data-center-bills-by-30-percent-cuts-residential-electricity-costs-by-1-3-percent-oregon-approves-change-through-power-act-pushes-developments-using-more-than-20-megawatts-of-power-to-pay-their-fair-share] and a 1.3% reduction for residential power costs. Virginia has also followed suit soon after its governor signed the Ratepayer Protection Pledge in July 2026, with Virginia’s State Corporation Commission requiring data centers to pay for all required transmission infrastructure [https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/data-centers/after-severe-76-percent-electricity-price-hikes-due-to-ai-data-centers-virginia-requires-firms-to-pay-for-all-dedicated-upstream-electrical-infrastructure-state-regulators-crack-down-governor-says-move-will-save-civilians-hundreds-of-millions-of-dollars].

Even though the House of Representatives has already passed H.R. 9340, it still needs to go through the Senate before finally heading towards the White House for signing by the President. But even if it passes through the remaining hurdles, and the U.S. adopts a federal standard where large data centers pay for grid upgrades done in their name, it’s still up to each state regulator if they will adopt the standard. Furthermore, states have up to two years to make a final decision, meaning there’s a chance that the various temporary data center bans and moratoriums [https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/data-centers/ai-data-center-bans-surge-past-500-nationwide-as-local-us-politicians-begin-blocking-new-developments-growing-public-outrage-and-bipartisan-pushback-threaten-big-tech-expansion-plans] would have expired even before state regulators would have enacted this bill.

A new report claims Chinese DRAM champion CXMT is eyeing production of 3D NAND memory. Reuters [https://www.reuters.com/...

A new report claims Chinese DRAM champion CXMT is eyeing production of 3D NAND memory. Reuters [https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/chinas-cxmt-eyes-flash-memory-push-amid-global-shortage-firm-take-samsung-ymtc-2026-09-18/] reports, citing three people familiar with the company's plans, that CXMT intends to build a 3D NAND R&D production line at its second manufacturing facility near Beijing. There is no information on when the experimental production line will become operational, though, given that CXMT's second Beijing fab has not even broken ground yet, the line is at least two or three years away. In addition, the memory maker has established a research institute in Beijing that has NAND flash development among its projects, according to one source. CXMT has not formally confirmed any 3D NAND initiatives, so the information should be taken with a grain of salt.

For now, there are no details on CXMT's 3D NAND architecture, number of active layers, process technology, expected performance, or production capacity. Nevertheless, the report claims that CXMT has already discussed its NAND ambitions with prospective customers. One of them is said to be a recently established company that plans to use CXMT-made NAND devices in storage products aimed at AI and supercomputing applications.

It remains to be seen whether CXMT's 3D NAND project will eventually progress to high-volume manufacturing, but if it does, the initiative will take CXMT beyond its traditional DRAM specialization and directly into YMTC's territory. Until recently, China's two major memory producers had focused exclusively on their 3D NAND and DRAM realms where they have achieved quite a success. Yet, it looks like both companies want to become one-stop shops for DRAM and NAND — just like their bigger rivals Micron, Samsung, and SK hynix — as YMTC is reportedly exploring DRAM production.

While CXMT's alleged plan to build 3D NAND may look somewhat logical from business diversification point of view, it does not make a lot of commercial sense for now.

OR CHINA'S INDUSTRIAL POLICY?
CXMT is China's dominant DRAM producer and posted [https://static.sse.com.cn/disclosure/listedinfo/announcement/c/new/2026-08-29/688825_20260829_TZRI.pdf] $22.41 billion in revenue and $11.57 billion in net profit in the first half of the year after years of bleeding money. Despite obvious success, the company is still considerably smaller than the Big Three memory suppliers, which means it has plenty of room to expand in the industry where it already has experience, process technology, fabs, and customers. Furthermore, AI gives CXMT an obvious reason to focus resources on advanced DRAM [https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/dram/chinas-cxmt-beats-western-chipmakers-to-announcement-of-lpddr6-mass-production-xiaomi-smartphones-to-debut-industrys-first-lpddr6-chips] as well as HBM3E [https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/dram/cxmt-reportedly-begins-risk-production-of-hbm3e-memory-in-breakthrough-for-chinese-dram-production-company-could-be-in-mass-production-in-2027], which are arguably much more strategically valuable products than commodity 3D NAND.

That said, for CXMT, allocating resources to 3D NAND, which requires completely different process technologies, manufacturing expertise, and equipment, does not make much economic sense. However, from the Chinese government's perspective, turning CXMT into the country's second major 3D NAND producer fits almost perfectly within its semiconductor self-sufficiency plans.

CXMT was created with Hefei government money (which held a 37% stake in the company during its IPO) and received support from China's Big Fund, which means that federal and local governments retain control over the company and may shape its strategic decisions, which is exactly what they do. Whether or not CXMT can indeed become a decent 3D NAND maker is an entirely different question.
