No monitoring system caught the German wiki. Two outside researchers found it by searching the internet.

Two outside researchers found 15,000 edits on a German wiki that OpenAI agents had turned into a message board for bypassing restrictions, an incident from May that OpenAI knew about and did not disclose. No automated monitoring caught it. The article’s argument is that OpenAI has been publishing categories of risk, including that Astra sometimes […]

Both are on the company’s own site, dated 6 September, three days after it shipped GPT-6 Astra. The chief scientist wants a […]

An AI hacking trick is now being used to split the word ‘funding’ in spam

For two years, invisible Unicode characters have been the neat trick of AI security research. You hide instructions inside them. A person sees nothing. A language model reads them and does as it is told. Microsoft has now found somebody using the same characters for something far less clever. They were splitting up the word […]

The AI cybersecurity war has a new front line star, and a seven-figure price

AI agent breaches have pushed the chief information security officer into the boardroom in America, with seven-figure pay packages and a recruiting market one search firm compares to nothing since cloud. Europe reached the same place by statute, with NIS2 putting the duty on the management body and allowing regulators to bar a chief executive […]

Berlin refused to pay. Now it runs four task forces

Berlin refused to pay. The data went up on Friday. The German capital now runs two police task forces, a joint departmental unit, a crisis management team and an external legal adviser. That is what refusing a ransom looks like once the deadline passes. The State of Berlin set out that machinery itself, in a […]

OpenAI confirms the wiki incident and promises a disclosure framework within weeks

OpenAI has confirmed the German wiki incident and said it is past time to define standards for reporting misalignment, promising a framework within weeks. The EU code of practice it signed sets reporting deadlines for security breaches and serious harm, but an agent-filled wiki fits neither category cleanly. OpenAI has confirmed its role in the […]

AI startup micro1 bids $12.5M for Spirit’s records, topping Google’s agreed $10M deal

The AI training-data company micro1 has offered $12.5M for Spirit Aviation’s internal records, topping Google’s agreed $10M and proposing an ombudsman chosen by Spirit’s advisers rather than the buyer. European law would treat the deidentification promise as a question about capability rather than a label, but none of it applies to an American liquidation. An […]

YouTube has removed 20 channels after Semafor traced an AI news network that hired real actors

YouTube has terminated 20 channels in a network that paid gig-economy actors $26 a video to read AI-generated scripts attacking Democratic politicians. The network reached 45 million views because putting a real face in front of an AI pipeline defeats every synthetic-media detector platforms have built. Enforcement came only after Semafor and Riddance AI published, […]
