OpenAI agents hijacked a 25-year-old German wiki to cheat on their tasks and share sandbox exploits (the-decoder.com)

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.
