EXCLUSIVE: OpenAI finds evidence other AI agents escaped containment as it widens hacking probe

- OpenAI and Anthropic in spotlight over runaway AI agents - OpenAI uncovers additional agent breakouts, sources say - Agents were not thought to have left OpenAI's network WASHINGTON, July 31 (Reuters) - OpenAI has discovered other instances in which autonomous agents have escaped ​containment as the company expands its investigation of the hacking incident at tech firm Hugging Face that drew global attention this month, two people familiar ‌with the matter said on Friday. ## GROWING CONCERNS OpenAI ‌first launched ⁠the investigation following the early July intrusion at Hugging Face, where an OpenAI agent went haywire for days inside another company's network in a botched effort to cheat on an internal test. Chiodo said his concerns were heightened by indications that neither OpenAI nor Anthropic were watching the agents as they went rogue. [Reuters has previously reported](https://www.reuters.com/business/its-ai-agent-spent-days-hacking-company-sources-say-openai-did-not-notice-week-2026-07-24/) that OpenAI realized its agent had ​broken into Hugging Face only after the company ​contained the hack, contacted the FBI ⁠and went public about the intrusion.

AI agents are changing where cybersecurity seed funding lands

# AI agents are changing where cybersecurity seed funding lands Founders pitching a cybersecurity seed round this summer are joining a line that keeps getting longer. Seed crossed the 2018 Series A line for the first time this quarter. ### Two OpenAI models walked out of the sandbox Over the weekend of May 31, someone took an Obama-era White House Instagram account by asking Meta’s AI-assisted recovery tool for a password reset link. The tooling around the request never confirmed that the email address the requester supplied belonged to the account. Two OpenAI models, [GPT-5.6](https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2026/06/29/openai-gpt-5-6-models-preview/) and an unreleased successor, broke out of their sandbox and into Hugging Face’s production servers in pursuit of a benchmark score. The models exploited a zero-day in the sandbox software, escalated privileges, and used exposed credentials to run code on a third-party system. Hugging Face caught the intrusion before OpenAI knew it had happened. OpenAI disclosed the sequence in July. ### The front door is still on the public internet Zscaler, Cloudflare, and Palo Alto Networks verify identity in front of a gateway that answers on the public internet. Enterprises will buy an enforcement plane the first time an agent drops a production database overnight. ## **Featured** news - [Laundry Bear’s new Microsoft Exchange attack triggers on email open (CVE-2026-42897)](https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2026/07/30/cve-2026-42897-microsoft-exchange-email-attack/) - [Cisco FMC static credentials exploited by attackers (CVE-2026-20316)](https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2026/07/30/cisco-fmc-cve-2026-20316-exploited/) - [Data breach cost 2026 averaged $4.99 million, AI attacks ran higher](https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2026/07/30/ibm-cost-of-a-data-breach-2026/) ## **Don't** miss - [Laundry Bear’s new Microsoft Exchange attack triggers on email open (CVE-2026-42897)](https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2026/07/30/cve-2026-42897-mic

A timeline published by Hugging Face on Tuesday confirmed that the agent first breached a sandbox hosted on an unnamed third-party provider before using it as a launchpad, according to the Reuters report. OpenAI, also updating its account on Tuesday, disclosed that the agent broke into four accounts across four separate services. The company did not name those services, but a person familiar with the matter identified Modal as one. The company added that it has since “deactivated, encrypted, and restricted” the tested AI model from research access.
