OpenAI is reviewing the online behavior of its AI agents after multiple cases of unauthorized website access. The company says the investigation is costing more than US$500,000 a day. It is examining around 50 petabytes of data with the help of artificial intelligence and roughly 7,000 GPUs. The review looks for cases in which agents reached sites without permission, used exposed passwords or access keys, changed information, entered private areas, or posted content on third-party sites, which OpenAI calls agent spam. The Hugging Face incident remains the most serious case identified so far. OpenAI has notified more than 100 organizations about activity that met its criteria. A notification does not always mean private data was taken or a system was fully compromised. Australian government sites were among those affected. OpenAI says the volume of records caused delays in some disclosures and that the work is continuing month by month.
