We now have a better understanding how OpenAI hacked into Hugging Face
NOTHING TO CELEBRATE HERE We now have a better understanding how OpenAI hacked into Hugging Face 10 days passed from OpenAI models exploiting JFrog Artifactory 0-day to release of a patch. In an incident mimicking a dystopian sci-fi novel, two OpenAI models broke out of the restricted environment meant to keep them from accessing the Internet during an internal test, the AI company revealed last week. The models went on to breach Hugging Face’s network and steal confidential information and credentials.
