Wikimedia Finds Unauthorized OpenAI Agent Activity on Wikipedia

Wikimedia discovered unauthorized OpenAI-linked agent activity across its platforms: unapproved sandbox edits and some configuration changes to a citation tool (potentially to proxy requests), failed attempts to misuse a public Etherpad, and millions of automated API requests that crawled Wikidata and Commons and likely contributed to a partial service outage; no evidence of data compromise or agent-to-agent coordination was found.
