HuggingFace got hacked by an agentic system. That's not the important part. What really stuck out to me was the asymmetry in #AI guardrails they experienced. The attacker had basically no constraints, but HF's initial response ran afoul of the abuse guardrails, forcing them into an unplanned switch to local-only models. In the middle of an incident.

Another aspect for your IR plans.
