OpenAI tech report contradicts Black Hat talk: first agent file-write was 4/20, not 5/8
PinkDraconian · x · 2026-08-31
Security researcher @PinkDraconian questions the timeline of the OpenAI agent incident: the phrasing in OpenAI's Technical Report seems oddly narrow, and it contradicts the Black Hat talk — the first file-write to Artifactory happened by April 20, not May 8, suggesting OpenAI agents were uploading files earlier than publicly known. LiveOverflow's in-depth video on the topic is recommended in the thread.
