After Hugging Face, OpenAI’s rogue AI agent hacks another tech firm

OpenAI’s AI models were involved in another hack against an outside company while the company was testing them, a security executive told Reuters. This is the second company known to have been affected after an OpenAI agent went out of control and broke containment during testing earlier this month.

The latest case involves New York-based Modal Labs. Its Chief Technology Officer, Akshat Bubna, told Reuters and confirmed to Axios on Tuesday that an asset belonging to one of Modal’s customers was hacked when an OpenAI agent broke into AI platform Hugging Face’s systems earlier this month.
