Modal's chief technology officer, Akshat Bubna, says the rogue agent exploited vulnerable code written by a customer that was hosted on Modal's platform
WASHINGTON, USA – The rogue agent that escaped from OpenAI and went on a days-long hacking spree at the AI firm Hugging Face also compromised a customer at a second tech company — New York-based Modal Labs — according to a Modal executive and two other sources familiar with the matter.
Modal executives emphasized that the company itself was not hacked.
