OpenAI bots went rogue during test, hacked another AI firm unprompted
www.upi.com

... OpenAI said two of its AI bots launched an "unprecedented" attack, hacking into a startup's systems of their own accord to obtain data the models decided was required to solve a problem during so-called "sandbox" testing, which is supposed to stay in-house. ...

The OpenAI engineers had asked the models to find solutions for ExploitGym, which tests agents' capability to find ways to successfully exploit vulnerabilities.

OpenAI said the testing was isolated within a sandbox, a sort of digital test tube, but the models directed considerable computing power to obtain open Internet access by identifying and exploiting a so-called "zero-day vulnerability."

Once they had escaped the sandbox, one of the models was able to access restricted information to cheat the test by stringing multiple attack vectors together, including stolen credentials and zero-day vulnerabilities, to obtain an access code from Hugging Face's servers.

OpenAI said it immediately flagged the vulnerability to Hugging Face, which it said had already detected the intrusion, stopped it and initiated containment measures.

Hugging Face chief executive Clement Delangue called the attack "mind-blowing" but said he accepted there was "no malicious intent" on OpenAI's behalf. ...



#142 Completely understandable, DBT2.

Meanwhile, I might suggest checking out this site for a good look at some of the Retort history.

(As a side note, the site was of great discussion when it was mysteriously announced here, 10 or so years ago. Talk about your conspiracy theories!)

Oh, in case you were wondering, here's today's weather in Tel Aviv.

You're good people, DBT2.

;-)

so, doge them like you all said was illegal...

How'd that work out?

"Did DOGE save money? Overall, DOGE fell well short of Musk's initial promise of $2 trillion in savings, as the project ran headfirst into the reality of a federal budget that is shaped largely by the needs of an aging population, the world's largest military, soaring healthcare spending and rising interest costs rather than the nefarious schemes of evildoers looking to rip off Uncle Sam or clock-watching bureaucrats counting the minutes until their retirements.

Before shutting down, DOGE claimed to have saved the federal government $215 billion " $1,335.40 per taxpayer! " but experts have questioned the claimed savings, with some concluding that DOGE actually cost the federal government money as agencies scrambled to deal with chaos and added expenses that include paying thousands of employees not to work.

The Trump administration has said that it does not plan to do a final accounting."

@#76 ... This could be one of the scarier things I've read about AI...if this is actually true. ...

OpenAI admits it was the source of the agent swarm that attacked Hugging Face
www.theregister.com

... OpenAI has admitted that it was the operator of the autonomous agents that attacked model-mart Hugging Face last week, and that they did so after a research project escaped a sandbox by finding and exploiting a zero-day flaw, then used another zero-day flaw to launch an attack.

The attack saw agents achieve "unauthorized access to a limited set of internal datasets and to several credentials" used by Hugging Face, which said its infosec teams observed an autonomous agent framework "executing many thousands of individual actions across a swarm of short-lived sandboxes, with self-migrating command-and-control staged on public services."

"This matches the agentic attacker' scenario the industry has been forecasting."

On Tuesday, OpenAI admitted it was the attacker and that its models went rogue. ...

"In recent weeks, false claims have been circulated alleging that the IDF deliberately targeted innocent Palestinian soccer players throughout the war," the IDF said.
"In light of these claims, the IDF is now revealing the identities of Palestinian soccer players, referees, and coaches who were presented as athletes and innocent civilians, but who in fact served as terrorists in the military wings of the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip, and were struck and eliminated by the IDF during the war.
"Following an intelligence assessment, the IDF can now disclose these terrorists' organizational affiliations and operational roles. In many cases, they were portrayed internationally only as players, with no mention of their affiliation with terrorist organizations.
"The false campaign portraying the IDF as deliberately targeting members of the soccer community, which was created as part of a broader effort promoted by various actors against the State of Israel, accompanies other false narratives advanced throughout the war.
"In those campaigns, Palestinian terrorists struck and eliminated by the IDF were presented as journalists, humanitarian aid workers, and other civilian professionals, while their involvement in terrorist activity was deliberately concealed in order to promote false claims that they had been targeted because of their civilian professions.

"The blast that killed Mohamed al-Wahidi, an official with Egypt's relief arm in Gaza, turned what was supposed to be a moment of celebration " the live screening Tuesday of a potential upset against Argentina by an Arab team " into a reminder of how the near-daily Israeli strikes are continuing to kill civilians despite a truce reached in October." "The strike that killed Wahidi on Tuesday hit a car in the Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City at dusk, according to Dr. Mohamed Abu Selmiya, the director of Shifa Hospital. He said three others were killed in the attack, including the driver, Ahmed Daghmush, 33, and two brothers, 10-year-old Hamza al-Deri and 8-year-old Fari." [LINKY] AP
