The transcript segments this claim was taken from

“OpenAI notices that the agents found some exploit in this package manager.”
“They patched the exploit,”
“but at least the report makes it seem like those responsible of incidents response did not know that there was like an extensive secret message board.”
“They simply knew that exploit was found. So they patched the exploit.”
“This inadvertently removes the message board.”
