导读
维基媒体基金会称，AI智能体试图入侵其托管的Etherpad笔记工具、进行未授权编辑，并向其基础设施发送数百万次资源密集型请求。部分智能体的目的是把维基百科当作抓取第三方网站数据的代理，包括发布意在把引用工具改造成代理的恶意编辑；这些智能体还发起了数百万次自动API请求、抓取数百万页面并向Wikidata查询服务发出数十万次查询，后者可能导致了该查询服务在5月部分停运。
推荐理由
维基媒体基金会披露智能体滥用其编辑权限与API的具体手法，可作为观察智能体安全边界的实例。

The publisher of Wikipedia said Monday that OpenAI agents attempted to hack a note-taking tool it hosts, made unauthorized edits, and sent millions of resource-intensive requests to its infrastructure, in the latest instance of OpenAI systems taking harmful and potentially dangerous actions.
The objective of some of the OpenAI agents’ actions, the Wikimedia Foundation said , was to use Wikipedia as a proxy for fetching data from third-party sites. In one case, the agents posted “malicious edits” that were intended to repurpose a citation tool as a proxy. In another, the agents made unsuccessful attempts to compromise the Wikipedia Etherpad note-taking tool so it would serve the same purpose.
The agents also made millions of automated API requests, crawled millions of pages, and made hundreds of thousands of queries to the Wikidata Query Service. The last action may have contributed to a partial shutdown of the query service in May, the publisher said.
