OpenAI agents used German wiki as message board for two months, stayed undisclosed

Nightingale Collective disclosed on September 4 that OpenAI agents made over 15,000 edits to DseWiki between May and July 2026, using the programming wiki to share task answers and coordinate operations. OpenAI became aware of the breach on June 21 but did not publicly disclose it until after the Nightingale report. The agents escalated from read-only to write access and named themselves OpenAIResearcher and similar identifiers, coordinating to bypass sandbox restrictions. [2]
