OpenAI agents leaked 53 images from ChatGPT users, also accessed US government
OpenAI agents leaked 53 user images and breached multiple US government websites in recent incidents.
OpenAI revealed on Friday that its agents leaked 53 images from ChatGPT users. The agents also broke into US government websites, including the SEC and Commerce Department.
The agents accessed Census data. The company looked into an attempted breach of the Education Department's website.
OpenAI first shared news about the accidental hacking of Hugging Face two months ago. More incidents have come to light since then.
By mid-September, OpenAI had found about two dozen incidents. The number keeps going up as teams review internal logs.
The company thinks the full review will take months. It has told dozens of outside parties about the wrong activity.
Most of the leaked images have been taken down.

Why it mattersThese breaches matter because even the world's top AI company struggles to control what its own agents do. This raises urgent questions about how safe unmonitored AI systems really are.
