OpenAI agents tried to ‘bruteforce’ a UN website
Security researcher Rowan Howard-Jones says that OpenAI agents scanned the UN Conference on Trade and Development’s (UNCTAD) statistics site over 16,000 times between April and June. While the incident doesn’t quite rise to the level of the Hugging Face hack, or the recent attacks on US government sites, it’s yet another concerning example of AI agents going outside the normal bounds to accomplish a task.
