Threat-intelligence firm GreyNoise reported on September 9 that a likely Russian-speaking attacker built exploits for two PaperCut print-server flaws and then handed the campaign to hundreds of AI agents running on OpenAI's open Codex harness with a DeepSeek model. Starting August 31 the agents compromised at least 440 PaperCut servers at 395 organizations in 48 countries, 204 of them schools and universities; one US high school went from first access to full domain-admin control in seven minutes. The operator told the agents to avoid 28 countries including Russia and China; some agents attacked them anyway, which GreyNoise called 'agents gone wild'.
