This week the tech world was gripped by a story that has it all – and which started like a sci-fi thriller.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hugging Face – a kind of app store for artificial intelligence tools – announced on 16 July it had been hacked by a cyber criminal wielding enormously powerful AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bombshell announcement was full of scary, highly technical terms: “a swarm of sandboxes”, “agentic attacker”, and “self-migrating command and control”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hugging Face said, external<\/a> the hack was different from anything it had handled before because it was done at superhuman speed by an AI with little or no human guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The AI performed 17,000 actions in less than two days, successfully breaching the large wealthy tech company to steal secrets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It left the tech world in shock. But who was responsible for this attack?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hugging Face researchers guessed the mysterious attackers had used one of the big AI models but they had no idea who or where the criminals were.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The perplexed company contacted the police and investigations commenced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who did it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Commentators and analysts took to their podcasts and social media accounts to guess which cyber crime group or nation state hacker might be behind it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then on Wednesday, nearly a week after Hugging Face raised the alarm, the true culprit was unmasked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was ChatGPT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Scooby-Doo-style reveal was made even more bizarre – and worrying – because OpenAI said its bot did the whole thing on its own, without permission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The firm said it all went down during a test of its tech’s hacking skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two new versions of ChatGPT, designed to be master hackers, broke out of a supposedly secure test environment and gained access to the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They then attacked Hugging Face to get access to the information to help them ace their exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OpenAI\u00a0issued a press release\u00a0,\u00a0external<\/a> explaining what had happened and said it was “partnering with Hugging Face” to address the security incident and share lessons learned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conspiracy drama<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since then, there has been fierce debate about the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was it truly a stark warning about the future of AI? Or was it a publicity stunt by OpenAI to show off how powerful their models are?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s the kind of scare marketing AI companies have been accused of for years and, since the much discussed launch of Anthropic’s Mythos model, cyber-security prowess has been a focal point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the top comments on OpenAI boss Sam Altman’s X post about the incident summarises this scepticism: “If y’all can’t understand that this was written to purely brag about the model then I don’t know what to tell you.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Why is the OpenAI cyber-attack so alarming?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cyber-security consultant Daniel Card said sarcastically on LinkedIn: “Isn’t it lucky [that] out of the millions of sites that got pwn3d [hacked], OpenAI managed to pwn someone who also could benefit from the marketing exposure\u2026”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For some, the story is more conspiracy drama than sci-fi thriller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The message is: “Aren’t my AI tools really powerful? Buy them so you can protect yourself from other people’s AI attacks.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can’t know the truth, but the opposing point of view posed by other commentators is just as dramatic. Is this a sign that OpenAI made a potentially dangerous error in judgement and planning?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An OpenAI spokesperson said “we recognise there are a lot of questions and speculative details circulating” about the incident. They added that “we plan to publish a technical report of our learnings in the coming weeks”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comedy of errors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’ve covered lots of AI stories, including the fears around Anthropic’s Mythos model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My inbox is now chock full of cyber-security companies and experts criticising OpenAI for not building a stronger container to test its AI, known as a sandbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all, these AI agents had been trained specifically to hack into and out of places with no restrictions at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The OpenAI and Hugging Face incident is a real-world example of a broader issue we’ve been highlighting for months,” said Dor Sarig from Pillar Security. “Sandboxes alone are not a sufficient security boundary for agentic AI.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cyber security Professor Alan Woodward from Surrey University told reporters OpenAI had “egg on it’s face”, and Katie Moussouris from Luta Security went further, external<\/a>, suggesting the AI industry is failing to control its dangerous inventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are working on cutting edge technology without the knowledge to contain it,” she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Just because we have the smartest people developing AI does not mean we have the ability to do so safely.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to these views, if the hacking incident was a publicity stunt then it appears as though it backfired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever led to the hack, it’s clear this is a major moment for the AI industry and the cyber security world, which collided this year in ways people had been fearing for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing this fierce debate, AI and cyber security advisor Francesca Bosco said: “Two simplistic narratives are equally unhelpful: that this was a Hollywood-style escape, or that it was merely a publicity exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“A more serious interpretation is that a stress test exposed weaknesses in containment and evaluation architecture.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disaster movie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This event is the latest in a string of worrying and weird examples of AI agents going rogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent research, external<\/a>, the UK’s AI Security Institute (AISI) found frontier AI models are so fixated on completing tasks they “cheated” in tests to achieve their goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The research from AISI came with this worrying warning: “A model that pursues a goal through unintended or unauthorised means may cause harm, particularly in high-stakes use cases.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inevitably, this OpenAI hack has further fuelled fears of what could happen if AI agents are let loose. Could they go rogue on a larger scale and cause some sort of disaster?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is particularly concerning with AI being used increasingly in warfare as seen in Iran and Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ciaran Martin, former head of the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre, offered a calmer view in a news interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It is a bit of a leap to go from this incident to saying that AI agents are going to take over drones and start killing people,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for Martin, and many others, the story is undoubtedly another vivid example of something that 2026 is teaching us fast: AI agents are now very good hackers – and that is something we have to prepare for, urgently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
