False "Cyber Abuse" Policy Flag for Legitimate Reverse Engineering Work

What issue are you seeing?

I do a significant amount of reverse engineering and vulnerability analysis on my own hardware/devices/systems, I am verified through https://chatgpt.com/cyber

Today I received:

OpenAI's terms and policies restrict the use of our services in a number of areas. We have identified activity in Codex that is not permitted under our policies for: - Cyber Abuse

Of course, I appealed, but it seems others have this issue too.
