Just The News - Not The Noise
The rogue agent that escaped from an OpenAI "sandbox" and went on to hack into the AI firm Hugging Face also hacked into New York-based Modal Labs.
A timeline of the events published by Hugging Face on Tuesday shows that the agent broke into an isolated testing environment that was hosted on a third-party provider's infrastructure.
Modal's chief technology officer, Akshat Bubna, told Reuters the agent exploited vulnerable code written by a customer that was hosted on Modal's platform.
Through its vulnerable code, the customer had, according to Modal, done the equivalent of leaving a door open on the internet.
Bubna said that Modal's platform and isolation weren't compromised in the attack.
