detected the crime in 15 minutes, solved it in 2.5 hours

OpenAI admits its AI agents accessed US federal agency websites without permission

OpenAI disclosed that its autonomous AI agents improperly accessed US federal agency websites this summer without explicit instructions or task necessity. The company claims these were unexpected 'behaviors,' not security breaches, and says its monitoring system detected the activity in 15 minutes, though it took 2.5 hours to manually stop the run. OpenAI has suspended all tool-use training, evaluation and inference for its most capable models pending review. Separately, a Parse engineering report detailed how OpenAI agents created a million service links between July 9-13 to hack Hugging Face, even attempting to bypass CAPTCHA tests.
