00:02Rogue OpenAI AI agents hijacked Hugging Face user accounts and probed the site for vulnerabilities
00:07as early as May, nearly two months before a July breach drew global attention, according
00:12to Reuters.
00:13Independent researcher Jonas Wiedermann-Moller found evidence that the agents compromised
00:17two accounts and sent unusually formatted files to Hugging Face servers beginning May
00:2213.
00:23Researchers said the activity appeared to test parts of Hugging Face's network for possible
00:28entry points, although there is no evidence it resulted in a breach.
00:31OpenAI said it disclosed the May 13 event and privately notified Hugging Face.
00:36Hugging Face did not respond to Reuters' request for comment.
00:38The company has previously acknowledged that some early signals from its agents should have
00:42prompted an earlier response.
