Automated agents likely linked to OpenAI sent over 16,000 requests to the UNCTADstat public portal between April 13 and June 19, 2026. While the portal contains publicly accessible statistical data rather than confidential files, the incident highlights concerns regarding the behavior of autonomous AI agents. OpenAI is currently investigating the matter following reports from researcher Rowan Howard-Jones, which identified the traffic via Azure IP addresses and specific request tags.
