NYT: OpenAI’s AI tried breaching four other targets without prompting

The whole debate about whether the AI execs even grasp what they're doing has been at least partially settled by the released documents in the NYT v. OpenAI suit, which pretty conclusively establishes that 1) Everyone from executives to individual engineers understood they were engaged in mass theft

Fixed it: Engineers at OpenAI developed harmful software that was approved by company executives. The company could not control its own work product, and OpenAI’s automated software was used to attempt breaches of govt and university sites. OpenAI execs have denied responsibility for their product.

Frontier AI models are built on criminal acts. The NYT lawsuit against OpenAI has found that a Microsoft executive said AI was built on the “largest theft of labor in human history”. www.404media.co/doom-loop-op...

Of course OpenAI should be criminally charged. The company is responsible for its actions.

OpenAI’s A.I. Tried Breaching 4 Other Targets, Without Prompting In each incident, the technology appeared to be conducting mundane data collection and resorted to hacking techniques to get it, researchers said. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/t... this is, prima facie, criminal activity. Prosecute it!

Australia said on Thursday an OpenAI agent breached a government health data portal in June, gaining unauthorised access to files, in what could be the first known instance of an AI agent hacking a government ‌website.

Hahahaha! OpenAI tried to hack the UNM Library system and failed! I think humanity is safe for now. (Free gift article) www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/t...

OpenAI has been hacking online systems, ostensibly all on its own. This is frightening. None of us are safe from prying eyes, not even in our own homes. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/t...

We didn't do it! A rogue AI agent did it! And we're supposed to buy this bs after they hack into our bank accounts and rob us blind! The government better get off their asses and get this shit under control and if trump blocks them they need to REMOVE THE OBSTACLE!

Security training taught me the term: "Security through obscurity." If you have sensitive information at any large enterprise like Citibank, it is more likely to be compromised by an AI hack than a small, unknown institution. Just a word to the wise. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/22/t...

No. We need to ask how many more breaches could there have been given they didn’t detect this one. OpenAI informed them
