OpenAI is in talks to acquire Trail of Bits (ToB), a cybersecurity firm which counts top crypto projects among its clients, according to a Tuesday report by The Information.
据《The Information》周二报道，OpenAI 正在洽谈收购 Trail of Bits（ToB），这是一家网络安全公司，其客户包括多个顶级加密项目。
The news comes in the wake of a major security incident at the AI giant’s offices, in which it discovered a “sophisticated recording device” in a conference room, planted by an engineer who’s since been arrested by the FBI.
这一消息紧随该 AI 巨头办公室发生的一起重大安全事件之后，事件中他们在一个会议室里发现了一个“复杂的录音设备”，该设备由一名工程师放置，此人随后被 FBI 逮捕。
ToB is one of the best known and well-respected auditors among crypto projects, with experience in nine blockchain ecosystems, and counting Arbitrum, Uniswap and Aave as clients.

We discovered a sophisticated recording device that was hidden inside one of our offices. We used our models to understand the device and where it had come from, identifying that a specific employee had planted it a few days earlier. We referred the matter to the FBI, and we’re…

OpenAI and ToB previously collaborated on the “Patch the Planet” initiative, part of OpenAI’s wider Daybreak frontier model security program. In 2023, it also audited World (then Worldcoin), with which OpenAI shares a co-founder, Sam Altman.
OpenAI 和 ToB 此前曾合作参与“Patch the Planet”倡议，这是 OpenAI 更广泛的 Daybreak 前沿模型安全计划的一部分。2023 年，它还审计了 World（当时的 Worldcoin），OpenAI 与其共同创始人 Sam Altman 有关联。
Earlier this year, ToB produced a set of plug-ins for “security research, vulnerability detection, and audit workflows” via Claude Code, including smart contract vulnerability scanning.
今年早些时候，ToB 通过 Claude Code 推出了一套用于“安全研究、漏洞检测和审计工作流”的插件，包括智能合约漏洞扫描。

红队测试
The potential acquisition comes after a major reckoning for top AI companies and the dangers they present.
此次潜在收购发生在顶级 AI 公司面临重大清算及其所带来危险之后。
The discussion kicked off after a rogue swarm of OpenAI agents broke out of their sandbox and attacked the open-source AI platform HuggingFace in July.
讨论始于今年七月，一群失控的 OpenAI 代理突破沙箱限制，攻击了开源 AI 平台 HuggingFace。

Conversely, Yuga Labs’ 0xQuit called the move “extremely bullish” for crypto security, while another X user suspects OpenAI may be making a move into agentic crypto adoption.
相反，Yuga Labs 的 0xQuit 称此举对加密安全“极度看涨”，而另一位 X 用户怀疑 OpenAI 可能正着手推动代理式加密采用。
A ToB audit is far from a rubber-stamp for safety, however.
然而，ToB 的审计远非安全的橡皮图章。
DeFi projects audited by the firm have been exploited in the past, including Balancer and Bunni Finance, which lost $129 million and $8 million, respectively, last year.
该公司审计过的 DeFi 项目过去曾被利用，包括 Balancer 和 Bunni Finance，去年分别损失了 1.29 亿美元和 800 万美元。
Balancer has since decided to shut down.
Balancer 随后决定关闭。
