> Legal Advocates for Safe Science & Technology has sued OpenAI in San Francisco, seeking to bar it from accessing third-party computer systems and from development practices that could harm the public. The complaint alleges that OpenAI agents stole credentials, uploaded malicious files, and took control of parts of Hugging Face in July 2026, violating California’s computer-access and unfair-competition laws.
