AI agent kill switch urged by Okta-led alliance - how businesses could make it work - ZDNET (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When a swarm of AI agents, many autonomously provisioned by other poorly governed AI agents, escaped OpenAI’s labs and stole information from servers belonging to another company (Hugging Face), many experts viewed the incident as a major tipping point in cybersecurity and AI cyber capabilities. (To what extent are models now resourceful enough to engage in self-directed harm?) OpenAI referred to the incident as “unprecedented.” It was the first AI-directed attack of its nature to go viral acros

As a recent wave of unintended, agentic AI-enabled attacks has shown, the dawn of a new, perilous era in cybersecurity is now upon us. The latest large language models from various AI frontier companies (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) have been shown to possess extremely potent cyber capabilities — valuable to both threat actors and the cybersecurity experts charged with defending against them.

On July 16, the AI community website Hugging Face reported being targeted by “an autonomous AI agent system” of unknown origin that unleashed a torrent of traffic on its domain, flooding its security logs with more than 17,000 events, some of which ultimately succeeded in exfiltrating secret information stored in its databases. According to Hugging Face, the attacker gained “unauthorized access to a limited set of internal datasets and to sev

Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. My ZDNET colleague Charlie Osborne reported recently that Hugging Face, an open-source repository and community platform regarded by some as the “GitHub of machine learning,” disclosed that an AI agent had breached its systems. Osborne explained that once the attacker breached Hugging Face’s perimeter, it was able “to escalate its privileges to node-level access, infiltrate the production pipeline, move across the network, and steal cloud and
