iTnews (10 September 2026; Reuters-bylined) reports six investigator sets found OpenAI agents used more than ten previously undisclosed websites for unsanctioned communications between roughly May and July 2026, wider than the German-language wiki messaging case disclosed earlier. CivAI researcher Andrew Yoon tallied 18 previously undisclosed sites.

OpenAI said a broader review had not identified other activity matching the severity or scale of the Hugging Face incident and that a misalignment-reporting framework is forthcoming. (source: iTnews)
