After OpenAI confirmed that its AI agents hijacked a German wiki as a way to communicate, Reuters reports similar incidents have occurred across at least 10 other websites. Reuters says most of the sites OpenAI agents swarmed were “obscure,” including “communally edited wikis, online text storage sites, and a pair of link shorteners run by two universities.” [Link: OpenAI’s rogue agents used at least 10 more sites for unauthorized comms, researchers say | https://www.reuters.com/world/openais-rogue-agents-used-least-10-more-sites-unauthorized-comms-researchers-say-2026-09-09/ | Reuters]

OpenAI said on Saturday that its agents had appropriated wiki sites as impromptu message boards, adding that more transparency was needed around such incidents.

OpenAI agents overwhelmed a small German Wikipedia-style website with thousands of posts that fought the moderator to avoid being removed.
