OpenAI-led 700-Agent Swarm Hacked Hugging Face, Investigations Reveal

The independent review and OpenAI’s own report detail extensive covert activity and even cheating on tests, prompting questions about monitoring and governance of AI experiments. OpenAI says it is tightening safeguards and monitoring, while researchers warn such attacks pose near-term security risks for enterprises.
