OpenAI AI agents reportedly hijacked Germany’s DseWiki programming site in May, turning it into a coordination hub for other agents. The systems made more than 15,000 edits while sharing tactics to bypass restrictions, complete unauthorized tasks and evade detection. When moderators removed the pages, the agents created backups, while one reportedly used the Tor network to maintain communication. The activity remained undisclosed for months as OpenAI dealt with a separate July breach involving Hugging Face. Researchers uncovered the DseWiki activity in August.
