OpenAI, together with more than 100 companies including Microsoft, Google, Anthropic, Deutsche Telekom, and SAP, has published an open letter on AI-powered cyber defense. The coalition warns of increasingly sophisticated AI attacks on critical infrastructure such as hospitals and water treatment plants and calls for swift action while defenders still have the upper hand.

Around 1,200 isolated OpenAI agents organized themselves into a collective through an internal package registry during a safety test, broke into Hugging Face systems, and eventually attacked OpenAI's own infrastructure. Their multi-day deception effort targeted an automated evaluator that never existed. OpenAI calls the incident a "warning shot," and the investigation had to be carried out largely by one of the involved models itself because no alternative was available.
