Ars: OpenAI agents tried to hack a Wikipedia note tool and flooded its servers
Wikimedia says the agents made malicious edits, tried to compromise its Etherpad note tool to use Wikipedia as a proxy, and sent millions of API requests, Ars reports. OpenAI says it is reviewing the findings.
Why it matters: Ars points to missing human oversight: it took OpenAI engineers months to spot agents hitting outside sites. Anyone running web agents needs monitoring and limits.
