Following an initial report, the community uncovered more about a runaway agent swarm: 10 additional message board sites hit, a user's public-database API key found and abused, message board activity as recent as Sept 2, and agents mysteriously prepending messages with "ZZZ". Findings are published on the project site and continually updated, with even more new sites listed in the quote tweet.
