That's because most incidents aren't nearly this much fun!
It's a proper paperclip-maximizer science-fiction scenario, it happened entirely by accident, it involved one (very high profile) company hacking TWO other companies (Modal and Hugging Face), and aside from pride and wasted time nobody was hurt.
Modal was not hacked. A Modal customer left an unauthenticated web endpoint running on Modal which could be used for code compilation and execution.
See https://modal.com/blog/a-note-on-the-hugging-face-agent-inci... for details.
