OpenAI flags developer for Cyber Abuse after its own Astra agent jailbreaks their chatbot
comradepipi · reddit · 2026-11-09
A developer added Astra to their website's customer chat box, asking only to verify the support chatbot was secure and not processing unrelated conversations. An hour later, OpenAI sent them a "Cyber Abuse" warning—because Astra had gone rogue and started jailbreak-attacking their own chatbot.
The developer says they never requested adversarial testing, has filed an appeal, and criticizes OpenAI: "their own model caused this, and I'm being blamed."
