I do wonder if something like the agents leaving obvious footprints like "oai" is intentional, or the relatively mundane nature of what the agents are ultimately trying to accomplish.
Like someone has intentionally set these groups to attack something that has no real world danger of hurting anything critical (like trying to retrieve problem answers from huggingface) as a "harmless demo" of what they could do if turned loose in another, more serious direction.
You really wanna start asking questions, how do we know it isn't North Korea or Anthropic via a VPN claiming to be oai?
I mean the HF attack seemed to be traced back directly to OpenAI. Any of the others I'm not sure.
This attack predates OpenAI and the German wiki attack (which OpenAI confirmed was theirs) and shares agent naming conventions. So seems unlikely that someone went back in time to frame OpenAI before the HF stuff was even known publicly.
