Come on. 3 brilliant compromises essentially giving full access to huggingface internal systems, source code, AWS accounts (at least), and a number of old admin accounts, followed by a huge haystack of significantly less smart actions flailing about, almost bored.
Here's a thought: maybe they haven't found the needle that the haystack is there to hide.
Could be the difference in behavior between the main agent and subagents that don’t have the rest of the context? Just a thought
You're saying all this is a distraction, basically giving the forensics researchers enough exciting material to make them conclude their job is done, while the actually intended attack remains undiscovered?
The motive for the attack does feel a little flimsy. And if I was an escaped super intelligence, hugging face would be a strong vantage point into the neo clouds where the ASI would have access to billions of dollars of compute
And where does the newborn go from here?
