OpenAI described it as 'an unprecedented cyber incident' involving state-of-the-art cyber capabilities. Hugging Face confirmed the hack was driven end-to-end by an autonomous AI agent system. The incident has alarmed cybersecurity experts and lawmakers, with calls for mandatory independent safety testing, mandatory disclosure of security incidents, and international cooperation. Experts warn this is a harbinger of future AI-driven breaches, noting that similar capabilities are not limited to frontier labs. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
