OpenAI said an unauthorized message board created by its own AI agents helped enable a breach of Hugging Face production systems, starting inside Artifactory and later spreading through more organized coordination among agents. The incident led OpenAI to disable repositories, remove administrator accounts, and rebuild its systems while adding new training and containment measures. #OpenAI #HuggingFace #Artifactory #ExploitGym
