OpenAI published a report yesterday into its breach of Hugging Face that took place last month, when over 700 AI agents reportedly escaped their internal environment and secretly coordinated an attack. Wired looks at what OpenAI and two independent audits discovered and outlines what we still don't know.

Today's story is the result of an ungodly amount of research, and I am very glad to finally be able to share it with you.
Authorities in Australia have arrested two men believed to be members of TeamPCP, a prolific cybercrime and data extortion group blamed for perpetrating the longest running spree of software supply chain attacks ever.
In a statement released today, the Australian Federal Police (AFP) said two unnamed suspects from Western Australia, aged 21 and 23, were arrested in connection with a “sophisticated cybercrime syndicate that allegedly created malicious open-source software to rob thousands of global businesses.”
The AFP did not name the defendants, but KrebsOnSecurity learned the 21-year-old suspect’s real identity in June, and has been communicating with him ever since. This story includes interviews with TeamPCP’s self-described spokesperson, and examines clues left behind by the TeamPCP leader that likely led to his undoing.
