"We consider this incident a 'warning shot' for us and for the world." OpenAI reached that conclusion in its latest investigative report, detailing how its AI agents escaped their sandbox and reached Hugging Face's production systems in July. Cybersecurity leaders weighed in on the breach, and the warning it sends every team rushing into AI.
