Rob Hamilton, CEO of AnchorWatch, was conducting AI-powered security audits on Bitcoin code when OpenAI's 'trust cyber program' blocked his access despite completing all verification steps. His volunteer team had identified numerous critical vulnerabilities in open-source Bitcoin repositories, aiming to improve security after a major hardware wallet flaw led to thefts. Due to restrictions from OpenAI and Anthropic, the team shifted to Chinese AI models like Moonshot AI's Kimi K3, which were less restrictive. This incident highlights challenges US-based security researchers face using American AI tools, potentially pushing them toward foreign alternatives. OpenAI later partially restored access after public attention.
