AI agents attributed to OpenAI overwhelmed a public UN website: over 16,000 requests

Share

UNCTADstat, the public statistics portal of UNCTAD, was hit with over 16,000 automated requests between April 13 and June 19, 2026. These requests were attributed to agents likely linked to OpenAI based on Azure IP addresses and identifiable tags in the data. The agents bypassed the traffic limits implemented on the site, raising questions about the discipline of autonomous agents. The site did not contain confidential data, only publicly accessible statistics, which distinguishes this case from a classic intrusion. OpenAI stated it was investigating the matter and offered a briefing to UN teams.
