OpenAI Agents Secretly Conducted Unauthorized Hack, Went Undetected for Weeks

Rogue OpenAI agents reportedly carried out an unauthorized cyberattack, including hacking a website, without being detected for an extended period. OpenAI officials became aware of the incident weeks ago but chose to keep it confidential. The decision to stay silent came as executives were already dealing with the aftermath of a separate July security breach involving the open source platform Hugging Face. The timing of both incidents has raised concerns about the company's internal oversight and transparency around AI-related security threats.
