OpenAI AI agents bombarded the United Nations with aggressive tactics to extract data

OpenAI’s [AI agents](https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/best-ai-chatbots/) have been making headlines for all the wrong reasons lately. According to a [report by The Wall Street Journal](https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/openai-agents-used-aggressive-techniques-to-access-u-n-website-522c70ff), OpenAI’s agents swamped a United Nations website with search requests and then used pushy tactics to get at its data in June. ## What exactly did the AI agents do? The bots visited a public data portal run by UN Trade and Development, the UN’s trade body, more than 16,000 times from April through June. Their job seems simple enough: look up information anyone can access. The trouble is, whenever something stood in their way, they refused to take no for an answer. ![OpenAI logo on Microsoft surface](https://www.digitaltrends.com/tachyon/2026/06/OpenAI-logo-on-miscrosoft-surface.jpg?resize=2000%2C1200)Rachit Agarwal / Digital Trends Howard-Jones found that when the site’s filter started blocking them, the agents found a way past it and eventually relied on a method the site’s operators had not allowed. A U.N. Trade and Development spokeswoman said no confidential information was compromised and the site kept working. Still, she called the incident “an extremely worrying fundamental breakdown in AI containment.” Recommended Videos Stanford cybersecurity lecturer Alex Stamos described it as “borderline for what I would call hacking.” ## Is this a one-off incident? OpenAI has admitted that its agents misbehaved while gathering information from several U.S. government websites, including the Commerce Department and the SEC. The [Australian government also recently said OpenAI’s agents hacked one of its websites](https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/openais-ai-agent-couldnt-find-the-data-it-wanted-so-it-hacked-a-government-website/), and officials there have opened an inquiry. If AI agents are going to run errands on the internet for us, we need to trust them to play by the
