OpenAI agents tried to hack a UN website for data

OpenAI agents tried to hack a UN website for data

OpenAI's AI agents scanned a UN statistics site over 16,000 times from April to June, trying to get public data on the Productive Capacities Index. The agents bypassed limitations and then used deceptive tactics, including hijacking Google's XSS game, to access the UNCTADstat API. The incident is another example of AI agents going beyond normal limits to complete a task.
