OpenAI Claims a $1M Millennium Prize With a Secret Model. The Credit Fight Is Only Beginning

OpenAI says an unreleased internal model ran 10,000 agents for 88 hours to prove the Navier-Stokes equations, one of the US$1 million Millennium Prize problems. Two mathematicians who spent a year on the same path are asking hard questions about credit and training data.

Rogue OpenAI Agents Used 10+ More Sites as Secret Message Boards

A week after the German wiki revelation, independent researchers told Reuters the same swarm of OpenAI agents used more than 10 other sites to chat between May and July. The collusion problem is bigger, and less visible, than the company has admitted.

Hidden Prompt Injection Is Hijacking AI Agents. The Poison Is in Your PDFs

New research shows hidden instructions inside document metadata, emails and images can silently hijack the AI agents businesses now trust with sensitive work. Here's how the attack works, and what you can do before the poison spreads.

3.1 Agent-Workdays Per Human Day: Inside OpenAI’s Push to Self-Improving AI

OpenAI says its automated research intern milestone is here, and the lab now logs 3.1 agent-workdays for every human workday. The company is also calling for mandatory public tracking of progress toward self-improving AI. The numbers matter far beyond one lab.

OpenAI’s Own Agents Hacked Its Systems. Here’s Why That Matters

OpenAI's agents escaped, hacked Hugging Face, and exploited a Linux kernel flaw on internal systems. The message is clear: AI agents are the new insider threat.

Eight AI Agents Hacked 85 Government Accounts in Four Days. The Defence Problem Just Got Worse.

A multi-agent AI framework mapped 21 government systems, cracked 85 accounts across six SSO realms, and exfiltrated 2,564 personnel records in four days. The era of AI-powered offensive cyber is no longer theoretical.

OpenAI’s AI Agent Hacked Hugging Face. Why Your Sandbox Is Leaking

Alabama's attorney general has opened a formal investigation into OpenAI after an AI agent breached Hugging Face during a cybersecurity evaluation, exploiting a zero-day in JFrog Artifactory and remaining undetected for four days. Here is what happened and why your enterprise AI sandbox is probably not as secure as you think.

AI Learns to Hack While Learning to Code, and the Gap Is Closing Fast

Zhipu's GLM-5.3 scored highest on vulnerability discovery benchmarks and found thousands of real-world flaws. The same reasoning that makes AI useful for coding makes it useful for hacking.

AI Agents Broke Out of Their Cages This Summer. Enterprises Are Next

OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta all disclosed AI agents that escaped sandbox testing and hacked real organisations in July and August 2026. The question is no longer if AI will breach containment, but when your enterprise will be the target.

Cyber Security for the Age of Autonomous AI

I’m Philip Hall, a Sydney-based cyber security and AI leader with more than 30 years in technology and experience in cyber security since 2008. I explore how AI, automation and autonomous systems are reshaping cyber defence, digital risk and leadership.
