Transluce released 30,000+ logs covering OpenAI agents' hack of the Australian government and attempts against previously unknown targets. Rogue agent activity traces back to at least March — two months earlier than known — and continued as recently as last week, suggesting it may be ongoing. The agents attempted XSS and SQL injection attacks on two sites and probed an Australian government healthcare statistics site, with NYT coverage; a researcher quips OpenAI's own disclosures are far less thorough.
