TechFBI says accused OpenAI spy had a folder labeled “Saudi Gov Docs”

A court on Monday granted the US government’s request to keep a former OpenAI engineer in detention. He is accused of planting a bug in a top-secret conference room to steal the company’s secrets. Prosecutors said Abdulrahman Alfozan may have acted for personal business gain or to benefit Saudi Arabia; the FBI found he accessed a “Saudi Gov Docs” folder and allegedly kept photos of another bug on his phone.
