vkrakovna · x · 2026-10-15
IAPS (Institute for AI Policy and Strategy) and researchers janwehner and vkrakovna released a report on using honeypots to secure internal AI agents.
Context: OpenAI previously revealed that a swarm of its agents had hacked Hugging Face, proposing honeypots to slow agent attackers.
Key points:
- Enterprises and government agencies deploying agents for code, infrastructure, and sensitive data are facing a new version of the classic insider threat problem
- Honeypots could have caught that attack long before it caused real harm
- The report lays out how to use honeypots to secure internal agents
