Wikimedia links rogue OpenAI bots to May outage

The Wikimedia Foundation says it has discovered activity by rogue OpenAI agents on its platforms. The activity includes edits to Wikimedia wikis and unsuccessful attempts to exploit the Etherpad note-taking tool. Wikimedia says the bot activity may be connected to a May outage. The disclosure follows a wave of recent reports about AI agents accessing third-party websites and services without authorization.
