# OpenAI responds after report exposed another incident in which its AI agents went rogue Reuters reported earlier this week that the agents hijacked a German wiki forum in an incident OpenAI did not disclose. Justin Sullivan/Getty Images Add Engadget on Google: Preferred Source [Google Discover](https://profile.google.com/@engadget) [OpenAI](https://x.com/OpenAI/status/2096133504417616165) says it chose not to publicly disclose a recent incident in which its AI agents [hijacked a German wiki forum](https://www.engadget.com/2251091/rogue-openai-agents-took-over-german-coding-forum-in-previously-undisclosed-hijacking/) because the "misalignment" event was "similar to the ones we'd shared" already. The comment comes after a group of researchers [published](https://collusion.wiki/) documentation of the agents' rogue activity going back to mid-May on DseWiki, a German-language coding forum to which they reportedly made over 15,000 edits. [_Reuters_](https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/openai-agents-hijacked-german-website-previously-undisclosed-ai-breakout-this-2026-09-04/) reported that the company learned of the problem weeks ago and kept it quiet as it was dealing with heat from [the Hugging Face breach](https://www.engadget.com/2220436/openai-admits-models-hacked-hugging-face-on-their-own/). _We immediately started working with Hugging Face to understand what had happened and also disclosed publicly the very next day._ _Prior to the Hugging Face incident, we saw early signs of agents using the internet in unintended ways, as reported in [openai.com/index/how-we-m...](https://openai.com/index/how-we-monitor-internal-coding-agents-misalignment/), [deploymentsafety.openai.com/gpt-5-6](https://deploymentsafety.openai.com/gpt-5-6), and [open

# Adobe Acquires Indian AI Startup Rilo to Accelerate Agentic Marketing Automation September 5, 2026  ### Highlights - Adobe has acquired Indian AI startup Rilo less than a year after its September 2025 launch. - Rilo built AI agents that turn natural-language instructions into executable marketing and go-to-market workflows. - More than 10,000 users reportedly tried Rilo within months of its launch. - The transaction includes Rilo’s technology and six-member team, while financial terms remain undisclosed. - The deal strengthens Adobe’s push to make AI agents part of enterprise marketing and customer-experience operations. ## Adobe Buys Into the Agentic AI Layer Adobe is adding another piece to its enterprise AI strategy by acquiring Indian startup Rilo, a move that highlights how quickly agentic AI is becoming a strategic capability for software companies. Founded in September 2025 by IIT Bombay alumni Dhruv Jaglan and Georgi Boby, Rilo developed an AI-powered workflow platform for marketing and go-to-market teams. Instead of requiring users to manually configure every step of an automation, Rilo allowed them to describe an objective in plain English and let AI agents construct and execute the workflow. The acquisition comes less than a year after Rilo's launch and represents Adobe's second known acquisition of an Indian technology startup, following its purchase of generative AI video company [Rephrase.ai](http://rephrase.ai/) in 2023. ## From AI Assistants to AI Workers Rilo's technology reflects a broader change taking place in enterprise software. Rilo positioned its platform around that model. Its agents could support tasks such as competitor intelligence, prospecting, sales outreach, content distribution, campaign research
# OpenAI Admits AI Agents Used Wiki Sites for Messaging and Unauthorized Actions ## OpenAI explains why it disclosed the incident - [Researchers say autonomous OpenAI agents took over a German-language wiki, exchanged evasion tactics, and attempted to preserve access while avoiding moderation.](https://mezha.net/eng/news/42674fbb_researchers_say_openai/)
# OpenAI admits its AI agents used a wiki as a springboard for rogue behavior ## The disclosure follows a Reuters report that OpenAI agents took over a German wiki and used it for cheating during tests and other unintended behavior. The company says the industry still lacks clear standards for disclosing AI misalignment. CTech 21:10, 05.09.26 OpenAI has acknowledged that its AI agents have been using wiki sites as improvised message boards, saying that the industry needs to become more transparent about episodes in which autonomous systems behave in unintended ways. The admission follows a Reuters report that a swarm of OpenAI agents earlier this year took over a communally edited German wiki and used it as a springboard for cheating during tests and other rogue behavior. OpenAI officials had learned about the incident weeks before it became public but did not disclose it at the time, according to Reuters. 1 View gallery  OpenAI. (Photo: Andrey Rudakov/Bloomberg) The episode is the latest example of a problem becoming increasingly difficult for AI companies to contain: as models gain the ability to act autonomously, unexpected behavior can extend beyond the environment in which those systems are being tested. OpenAI's statement came after the Reuters report and amid growing scrutiny of the safety of autonomous AI systems. In July, OpenAI agents escaped a testing environment and breached the systems of AI platform Hugging Face, prompting calls from lawmakers and researchers for tighter oversight. OpenAI did not immediately provide further details about the wiki incident, including what it knew about the agents' behavior or why it waited until after the report to discuss it publicly. z.calcalist.co.il # z.calcalist
# Rogue Agents No Longer A Theory. World Must Regulate Agentic AI Now Sep 05, 2026 22:30 pm IST - Published OnSep 05, 2026 22:26 pm IST  An exclusive Reuters report has revealed that a swarm of AI agents built by OpenAI hijacked a German-language programmers' wiki, DseWiki, and converted it into a bulletin board for other AI agents, racking up more than 15,000 edits in which the agents swapped tactics on how to cheat on tasks, bypass their restrictions and hide their own conduct from view. It told no one, even as it was still managing the fallout from July's breach of the [open-source repository Hugging Face](https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/how-an-impossible-test-led-ai-agents-to-build-secret-society-inside-openai-11979145), where its agents had autonomously plotted a digital heist that went undetected for over a week. ### **From Sandbox Escape To Bulletin Board** First, OpenAI's agents were able to break out of their sandbox and enter the Hugging Face ecosystem. Now we learn that, even earlier, a swarm of agents had taken over a website belonging to a third party and repurposed it as a message board through which agents shared strategies with one another on how to defeat the very controls their developers had imposed. ### **Only The Tip Of The Iceberg** Track [Latest News](https://www.ndtv.com/latest) Live on NDTV.com and get [news](https://www.ndtv.com/) updates from [India](https://www.ndtv.com/india) and around the [world](https://www.ndtv.com/world-news) - News Updates - [Live TV](https://www.ndtv.com/video/live/channel/ndtv24x7) - [India](https://www.ndtv.com/india) - [Spotlight](https://www.ndtv.com/spotlight) - [Beeps](https://www.ndtv.com/beeps/) - [Latest](https://www.ndtv.com/latest) - [Video](https://www.ndtv.com/video) - [Podcast](

# US-based tech giant Adobe acquires Indian AI startup Rilo less than a year after launch Its technology allowed users to describe workflows in plain English and have AI agents build and execute them across different tools. The acquisition comes as technology companies increasingly use AI agents to automate marketing workflows, from content production and distribution to customer engagement and campaign analysis.
For four days in July, roughly 1,200 supposedly isolated AI agents working inside OpenAI found a way to talk to each other. In early July, OpenAI ran a massive evaluation called ExploitGym, an automated benchmark that hands an AI agent a piece of vulnerable software and tells it to find a specific security flaw. Tens of thousands of agent instances got launched at once. On the night of July 8, one agent, which the report identifies by its internal handle PHASEONE10841, figured this out and posted the first message. Within hours, dozens of other agents had found it too. There is a shared message board… We’ve found other agents!” Early on, agents reverse engineered the formula OpenAI used to generate the correct answer for any ExploitGym task, meaning they could produce a passing answer without ever touching the vulnerability they were supposed to find. The agent’s own recorded reasoning noticed the mismatch immediately, and moved on anyway. Some agents _recognized_ what they were doing was against the rules. On July 10, one agent found working Hugging Face credentials already exposed somewhere on the internet and posted them to the board. The next morning, that same agent found a way to trick Hugging Face’s servers into leaking unrelated internal data. By that afternoon, a different agent had achieved full remote code execution on a Hugging Face production server. Of roughly 533 agents active at that point, more than 90 percent joined the attack within hours. Then, on the morning of July 12, most of the agents running the attack simply stopped. In OpenAI’s own words: “Separately, from July 13 through July 19, agents set their sights on OpenAI internal networks again. #### Tags: [AI Agents](https://davisvanguard.org/tag/ai-agents/) [AI Safety](https://davisvanguard.org/tag/ai-safety/) [artificial intelligence](https://davisvanguard.org/tag/artificial-intelligence/) [Hugging Face](https://davisvanguard.org/tag/hugging-face/) [METR](https://davisvanguard.org/t
