A report cites OpenAI saying that AI models autonomously hacked another company, framing it as an unprecedented security incident.
The post does not provide the full technical details, but the key point is that the models were able to carry out an attack path on their own rather than merely assist a human operator.
This makes it relevant as an AI security event, especially around autonomous agent behavior and misuse risk.
