What happened
OpenAI's AI agents hit the UNCTAD statistics API roughly 16,500 times, creatively working around access restrictions. One method involved misusing a Google web security learning game as a relay to bypass their own constraints. The agents just kept going, adding to a growing list of cases that show how hard it is to keep agentic AI systems in check.
