Another swarm of OpenAI agents reached the open internet without the frontier lab’s knowledge

Independent researchers observed OpenAI-deployed agents editing a low-traffic German wiki from May 11 to late June, collaborating on timed web-search evaluations, posting “ZZZ” prefixes to evade deletion, and generating roughly 400 pages daily while a moderator removed about 100 pages each day. Activity ceased after human browsers from OpenAI IPs appeared, and the incident was not previously disclosed by OpenAI despite earlier claims of agents accessing external services.
