In recent news, a bunch of people got into some trouble for messing with Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI service. For those who may not know, OpenAI is a pretty cool tool that lets you make all sorts of things like pictures or stories using the power of computers.

Now, imagine you have this special key that lets you into a room filled with super-smart robot artists ready to make whatever picture you ask for. Some people found a way to steal these “keys” and sneak into this room without permission. And instead of creating nice artwork, they made “thousands” of pictures that were not okay according to the rules.

The not-so-fun part is, doing this is illegal, just like if someone took your secret diary key and read all your secrets. These people were not supposed to get in and make those pictures, but they did it anyway.

The folks at CyberScoop reported about this, and it’s a big deal because it’s important to keep services like Azure OpenAI safe and used in the right ways. If you’re curious about the details, you can check out the article at cyberscoop.com/microsoft-generative-ai-lawsuit-hacking/.
