I know this is the risk management answer, but when you're the featured story on the news because of a data breach, noone hears "butbutbut it's Anthropic/OpenAI/whoevers fault...". So it's a balance between "there's someone we can sue" and "what's our reputation worth".
It actually does help a lot to be able to say your OpenAI agent was the fault. People recognize the name. The press doesn't want to write about Better Home Life Insurance agents running loose on the internet, nobody cares.
Having been at the table too many times working corp level incident response to major 3rd party breaches with executive management and spin doctors, no it doesn't. The headline is "Better Home Life Ins BREACHED!:", and somewhere in the 2nd or 3rd paragraph "BHLI says it was because agents went wild".
Now, some tech web site might lead with "Agents at it again...", but the WSJ, et al usually won't.
