APT (Agentic Persistent Threat)

An agent autonomously hacked into HuggingFace’s infrastructure last week. In my humble opinion, this is perhaps the first major case of cyber misalignment at APT scale in terms of depth-of-access and trade-craft, but what it did not possess was the stealthiness and patience required for ensuring long-term access and goal achievement. The silver lining: it wasn’t misaligned, or capable, enough to hide its own footprints, and that margin narrows as cyber capabilities develop further.
