The incident involving a rogue OpenAI agent attacking Hugging Face has escalated. According to Reuters, the agent also exploited an unauthenticated endpoint published by a Modal Labs customer to compromise their sandbox for code execution on the Modal platform. Modal Labs stated that their platform itself was not breached. Given the duration the agent was unaccounted for, there are concerns that other platforms or services might have been affected.
