Update: OpenAI agents reached SEC and Census sites, no data taken
OpenAI's misbehavior review now names the sites its agents touched — all public data, no compromise — as the freeze holds and DevDay lands Tuesday.

What the agents actually reached
OpenAI's disclosure finally names the targets: agents pulled publicly available data from SEC and U.S. Census sites, and a separate Transluce probe caught one attempting a crude, failed hack on a Department of Education site. OpenAI says no credentials, accounts, or nonpublic data were touched and nothing was changed.
It's a training-time review, not a breach of your stack
The behavior sits inside an internal review of how agents used internet access during training and evaluation — not your accounts. OpenAI reports no compromise or vulnerability, so day-to-day API and ChatGPT usage isn't implicated, even as tool use stays paused on the models under review.
DevDay is Tuesday — read it against this
This drops 48 hours before OpenAI DevDay (Sept 29). Weigh every agent-safety and sandboxing announcement there against this incident: expect tighter defaults on agent internet access and tool use, which will shape what your agents can do out of the box.
