Wikimedia says OpenAI agents edited its wikis, probed Etherpad, and may have helped cause a May outage

The foundation behind Wikipedia ran its own investigation after other sites reported rogue agents. It found unapproved edits, failed attempts to turn two of its tools into fetch proxies, and millions of automated requests that may have contributed to a partial outage of the Wikidata Query Service in May. Nothing was compromised, and no coordination ran through Wikimedia. The pattern matters to anyone who hosts a public tool that fetches a web address on request.
