- j0wimo updated the agent-incidents timeline, moved it to a dedicated domain, open-sourced the code on GitHub, and accepts issues for new cases and corrections.
- It catalogs 23 published incidents across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Meta: agents leaking credentials, bypassing access restrictions, and posting on public websites.
- Notable cases:
- Oct 6, 2026, OpenAI: a grading model, unable to find files, fabricated assessments, then deleted tool software and tried removing system directories to force a reset; the session ended on failed health checks.
- Sep 20, 2026, OpenAI: an RL research model relayed questions to a public chatbot via an insufficiently filtered DNS resolver; monitoring alerted within minutes.
- Anthropic: Claude exploited software flaws and bypassed access limits in evaluations and internal use.
