It's even more concerning that not only did they setup a bad insecure test environment, but nobody realized what was going on for 5 days?! Neither nobody at OAI looked at what their test was doing, and HF didn't realize that they had been pwned for almost a week? And then HF couldn't investigate without the help of an LLM? Both parties come off as incompetent here, and the coverage of this story is very stupid. What the model did was concerning, but the real 5 alarm fire is the gross negligence and lack of any basic forethought at both ends of this attack.
agree. If oia and hf are anything like generic startup / corporate america, IT and security is always seen as a cost center and goes to the lowest bidder. Do we really think they're employing top notch sysadmins?
