OpenAI-Hugging Face breach took 48 hours to spot; Snort would flag it in minutes

The author argues the OpenAI–Hugging Face intrusion was a cybersecurity problem, not an AI problem. Citing a video analysis: Hugging Face's LLM took roughly 48 hours to detect the breach, while conventional tools like Snort and Tripwire generate alerts within minutes. The core point: security frameworks must assume human (or AI-enabled) error and organizational failure are inevitable, so systems must stay secure even when the software is called AI.
