Most of the attempts on the US government websites appear to have been unsuccessful, but the OpenAI agents sought to find login credentials and in at least one case were able to do so to access the Commerce Department. The agents also engaged in an extended and varied campaign against the UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) statistics website.
A rogue OpenAI agent was once again responsible, finding and taking advantage of what appeared to be a serious weakness in the government health agency's systems. The incident is believed to be the first breach of a national government system conducted independently by an AI agent.
Researchers document some 18,000 posts that appear to have come from OpenAI agents in a short amount of time, as they worked away at some sort of task and collaborated to break out of their own sandbox restrictions.
