  • OpenAI didn’t realize its agent was responsible for hack for a week: repor...
    OpenAI didn’t catch an autonomous breach of another artificial intelligence (AI) company by one of its advanced AI models for a week, and not until after the FBI had been contacted by the hacked company, according to a report.On Tuesday, OpenAI announced the breach of AI company Hugging Face that happened during one of OpenAI’s internal reviews of several of its models, including GPT-5.6 Sol, calling it an "unprecedented cyber incident.""The primary lesson from this incident is that model security and safety must keep pace with rapidly advancing capabilities," the company said. "We are strengthening the containment, monitoring, access controls, and evaluation practices used during model development."The hack of Hugging Face started on July 11, and continued until July 13, Thomas Wolf, Hugging Face’s co-founder, told Reuters.TRUMP LAUNCHES GOLD EAGLE TO HUNT CYBER FLAWS WITH AIIt was several days before OpenAI realized its agent was behind the attack and the two companies didn’t communicate for the first time until July 20, four people, including Wolf, told the outlet.OpenAI often runs simultaneous model tests, which can make it difficult for employees to monitor everything, four people told Reuters.Hugging Face told Reuters it is preparing a public timeline of the hack.According to OpenAI, the incident took place during an internal evaluation designed to measure its AI models' advanced cyber capabilities. Researchers disabled some built-in safety safeguards and ran the models in an isolated testing environment with limited internet access.OpenAI said the models exploited an unknown software flaw to access the internet, then breached Hugging Face’s systems in an apparent attempt to find answers to a cybersecurity benchmark.OPENAI'S SAM ALTMAN WANTS TO NEGOTIATE A 5% STAKE IN COMPANY FOR US IF COMPETITORS AGREE TO KEY PROVISIONOpenAI said it’s now implementing stricter security controls while vulnerabilities are patched and strengthening safeguards around future AI training and evaluations.It wasn't until July 16 after Hugging Face wrote in a blog post that it had been hacked by an "autonomous AI agent system" that OpenAI realized one of its agents was the source, two people told Reuters.This was a week after the responsible agent first attempted to break out of its OpenAI testing environment.And by the time OpenAI contacted Hugging Face about the attack, they had already contacted the FBI.OpenAI told Reuters there were several inaccuracies in its reporting but didn’t respond when asked for specifications.OpenAI shared this statement with FOX Business: "We recognize there are a… [TheTopNews] Read More.

  • Forget gasoline: This overlooked fuel could raise the price of nearly everything...
    The fuel most Americans never think about could become the Iran conflict's biggest economic consequence. While gasoline prices grab headlines, diesel quietly powers the trucks, farms, freight trains and heavy equipment that keep the U.S. economy moving.From the groceries on supermarket shelves to the Amazon package on your doorstep and the materials used to build new homes, diesel is embedded in nearly every step of the supply chain. As prices rise, businesses face higher transportation costs that economists say often ripple through the economy, pushing up the cost of everyday goods.Diesel prices, which averaged $3.56 a gallon in January 2025, have climbed to $5.13 following the Iran conflict, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.A fully loaded semi-truck typically gets just 6 to 7 miles per gallon of diesel, according to Department of Energy data. Filling its roughly 250-gallon tanks can cost more than $1,280 at today's prices.BBQ LOVERS BEWARE: MIDDLE EAST CONFLICT MIGHT DISRUPT YOUR SUMMER PLANS THIS YEAR"We all focus on gasoline because, ultimately, we're consumers and pump prices are very visible. But what we don't think about is the price of diesel, which is the workhorse fuel for the U.S. economy and especially for key sectors," Bernard Yaros, lead U.S. economist for Oxford Economics, told Fox News Digital."From an inflationary perspective, I'm very concerned about the recent rise in diesel prices as it pertains to the cost of food or grocery store prices," Yaros said."Take the food industry, for instance. Diesel powers the irrigation pumps, the tractors in the field and the trucks that bring food from the farm to your local grocery store. It's part of every layer of food production in the U.S."'KEEP A LOW PROFILE': STATE DEPARTMENT WARNS AMERICANS OVERSEAS THEY COULD BE TARGETEDAn energy industry source, who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly, said the recent diesel surge shows how geopolitical conflicts can quickly filter into the broader economy."The great majority of the price movement that you've seen in diesel markets over the last five months has been the direct result of the conflict in Iran and specifically the closure of the Strait of Hormuz," the source told Fox News Digital.The Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway between Iran, Oman and the United Arab Emirates, is one of the world's most important energy chokepoints. Roughly 20 million barrels of oil pass through it each day, and disruptions can quickly… [TheTopNews] Read More.
