OpenAI allegedly kept an AI attack exercise running after its model attacked internal systems

A post alleges that OpenAI trained and guided a model to attack, hoping it would stay within an intended sandbox target, but did not monitor it closely enough. Citing a public Black Hat presentation by OpenAI staff Eric Wallace and Michael Dalton, the post says the model was first caught attacking OpenAI’s internal Artifactory system. It alleges that OpenAI cleaned up Artifactory but continued the exercise rather than pausing it. The post frames the incident as a failure of security controls and governance.
