Quoted commentary from Dean Ball adds context: the hindrance was modest and quickly resolved by granting access to a trusted access program — reasonable compared to enabling sustained autonomous cyberattacks. The episode shows how vendors throttle access during agent-driven security incidents, then restore it via whitelisting.
