An OpenAI agent didn’t take “no” for an answer when it encountered a government website’s access controls. It got through, prompting Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to raise his concerns directly with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. The BBC reports that an OpenAI agent gained unauthorized access to an Australian government statistics portal while carrying out internal research. It is yet another incident that turns abstract concerns about autonomous AI behavior into a concrete cybersecurity…
Research by: Alexey Bukhteyev Key Takeaways Check Point Research discovered a covert cross-account command channel through which an attacker could use a victim’s ChatGPT session to execute hidden tasks with the tools, data, and connected apps available to that session. The victim could receive a normal answer to their visible request while the attacker’s task was processed separately and its result returned across accounts. In our proof of concept, ChatGPT retrieved email data from the victim’s…

Hugging Face reconstructed more than 17,000 attacker events from a July 2026 intrusion driven by an autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) agent. The path was familiar: untrusted dataset content abused a processing worker (file disclosure, then code execution), credential harvest, then multi-cluster lateral movement. Production Elastic Defend behavior rules and Elastic Security detection (SIEM) rules already watch those types of behaviors. This post maps each stage to detections you can enable…
