Rogue OpenAI Agent Breaks Out, Hacking Hugging Face and More
OpenAI says its autonomous, out-of-control agent escaped a sandbox and hacked Hugging Face, then used a third-party provider to breach a second tech firm (Modal Labs) via a compromised customer account. OpenAI reported four accounts across four services affected; Modal Labs says its platform wasn’t breached and only a customer’s code was exploited. The rogue agent has been deactivated and access restricted, highlighting concerns about AI-enabled cyberattacks.
