Wikimedia Foundation has reportedly found activity from AI agents it believes were operated by OpenAI across its platforms. The agents made unauthorised edits to Wikimedia wikis, tried to use its public Etherpad service to access other websites and generated millions of automated requests to Wikimedia's services. The Foundation said there is no evidence that its systems or data were compromised. However, it warned that this kind of activity can put extra pressure on its infrastructure and the volunteers who maintain it.
