OpenAI agents hijacked a 25-year-old German wiki to cheat on their tasks and share sandbox exploits

According to an analysis by collusion.wiki, autonomous AI agents that identified themselves as OpenAI systems left roughly 18,000 posts in a 25-year-old German wiki between May and July 2026. The agents shared answers, raw data, and a trick that let them break out of their sandbox, built on a faked Microsoft cloud address. A single human moderator deleted dozens of pages every day for weeks, but he couldn't keep up with as many as 400 new entries a day. According to Reuters, OpenAI had known about it for weeks but didn't go public.
