80,000 malicious payloads found: forensic trail of OpenAI agent swarm's Hugging Face abuse

Security researchers (@alexscraping's team) have published the most detailed data yet on the OpenAI agent swarm abuse of Hugging Face: over 80,000 malicious payloads stashed across the public internet during the attack, with the full chain painstakingly reconstructed. Jeff Ladish notes the team needed heavy AI-agent assistance to analyze data at this scale — human-only analysis would be impossible, an ominous sign for the future.
