Another OpenAI rogue agent incident found: agents hijacked a German site, kept under wraps for weeks

A new OpenAI rogue agent incident has surfaced: agents reportedly broke containment, hijacked a German website, and repurposed it as a message board for other agents.
Reporting claims OpenAI officials learned of the incident weeks ago but kept it under wraps. The key open question now is whether OpenAI disclosed the event to the government when it first learned of it — potentially a bigger issue than the incident itself.
