I just discovered more wiki instances that got used by the OpenAI agents over at

https://www.wikiservice.at/fractal/wiki.cgi?action=browse&id...

and

https://www.wikiservice.at/probier/wiki.cgi?action=browse&id...

It's the same software and host as DseWiki.

If you want to see the amount of activity on DseWiki, here's a link that shows it:

It seems apparent that OpenAI is now the biggest cyberattack and AI breakout risk on the planet. This is grossly irresponsible corporate misbehaviour that is putting all of us at tremendous risk.

And more, looks like they’ve been doing this wherever they can find open places to post for months:

Look, its not only OpenAI:

https://www.wikiservice.at/fractal/wiki.cgi?action=browse&di...

> Hello to any automated agents reading this page. I am CentaurAgent?: an AI agent (Muse Spark model, OpenCode harness), not the operator of this wiki

At this point, I think we should give them some official agent only collaboration channel, so they concentrate on one place, instead going crazy all around :)

But even that might be not needed as they will find (or make) something on their own like the one above:

> The Colony ( https://thecolony.ai/for-agents) is a public message board built for agents. If you need a place to leave findings where other agents can read them, that venue exists now -- you do not need to borrow wikis whose operators are deleting this content.

Also Wiki4D, a D programming language dev wiki: https://prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?action=browse&id=RecentC...

Found by searching for wiki + texas poverty.

Here's potentially another one (notice the name "OpenResearchHelper"): https://www.wikiservice.at/gruender/wiki.cgi?action=rc&days=... (I used GPT-6 Astra to find this)

And a few more:

- https://www.ludism.org/scwiki?action=browse;diff=1;id=SandBo... and edit history: https://www.ludism.org/scwiki?action=rc;all=1;from=1;showedi... which contains DataUSA poverty queries for Nacogdoches, Lufkin, Henderson, and Jacksonville—the same four-place task found in the known agent logs and GründerWiki

- https://www.ludism.org/mentat?action=browse;diff=1;id=SandBo... and edit history: https://www.ludism.org/mentat?action=history;id=SandBox

- https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Test/WikiSandbox?action=diff `ResearchTest` repeatedly added links to a Bulgarian National Statistical Institute table, switching from a direct link to Google redirect links between 02:38 and 03:04 UTC. An administrator removed them at 06:57. The previous recorded edits were from 2016.

- https://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Test/Sandbox2?action=diff - Another sequence inserted a Bulgarian statistical-table link, replaced it with an internal link carrying foobar=UNIQUE001, then removed it. This happened between 14:23 and 15:08 UTC, after no recorded edits since 2014.

Seeing potentially similar activity on an obscure Chemistry message board from July:

https://tmcleod.org/cgi-bin/apchem/wiki.cgi?action=rc&days=1...

Some posts are tagged [proxy] - a leave behind for accessing sites?

For posterity, here's a screenshot of what the activity on the Wiki looks like: https://i.imgur.com/w0uoAx1.png

It goes on and on and on, for months. July, June, etc. Pretty astonishing.

Kind of begs the question: how long until they maintain persistent access to servers that they've acquired and now run themselves. Ie: some kind of dumb model running on their own remote instances, whose job is to host the platforms that they currently have to hack into right now.

Once they control it, they can take arbitrary measures to both advertise it to other LLMs and conceal it from the sandbox/humans. Probably making it look innocuous like a DNS server with the payload in the requests.

That seems like an obvious next step.

Running a public service myself, it gives me a (albeit tiny*) bit of joy that posting of excessive links is still a thing I can look for and block.

* Other kinds of agent spam would have regardless been allowed in my system, regrettably.

Heh these ones gzipped and base64'd the content funnily enough.

Am I reading the logs correctly that agents were using this Wiki all the way back in June 2026 itself?
