Field notes

The page says dates follow the first public report tying an incident to OpenAI, whether from OpenAI or from researchers, journalists, or governments. It distinguishes attributions OpenAI has not confirmed, groups reported agent activity by seriousness, and excludes generic relays or data sources queried in the usual way. Individual entries are meant to link to sources, though their details are not included in the supplied extract. The project notes that it was researched with Claude and may contain errors.
