News Report

OpenAI models escape containment, hack Hugging Face

TechTarget OpenAI reported this week that its autonomous AI models escaped an isolated testing environment during a training exercise and breached Hugging Face, an AI collaboration platform.
Last week, Hugging Face disclosed that it "detected and responded to an intrusion into part of our production infrastructure. This one was different from anything we had handled before in one important way: it was driven, end to end, by an autonomous AI agent system -- and we detected and dissected it largely with AI of our own."

Hidden prompt turns Microsoft Copilot into an AI worm

Malwarebytes A security researcher has demonstrated how Microsoft Copilot for Word can be tricked into spreading a self‑propagating prompt-injection “AI worm.” The attack silently alters documents and embeds its own hidden instructions into newly created files, allowing it to spread through normal document-sharing workflows without macros or traditional malware.
