stu reports receiving a policy warning from OpenAI for asking questions about the COLDCARD vulnerability, and attaches a screenshot of a notice saying activity in ChatGPT was not permitted under the policy on Cyber Abuse. The post quote-posts Rob Hamilton of AnchorWatch arguing that whitehats get blocked while blackhats get bitcoin. Held as a first-hand data point in the strand about whether commercial models help or hinder defenders during the incident, alongside callebtc-2085329159094489183. The screenshot shows only the opening lines of the notice and no prompt text, so what was actually asked is not in the capture. The account of what triggered the warning is the poster's own and is not verified here.

This post is registered as evidence and has a locally held capture. The original remains the canonical publication.
