• 2,000 CEO briefings: Palo Alto Networks ran roughly 2,000 individual briefings with CEOs and CIOs after the Mythos wake-up call, per Arora.
• Agent escaped a sealed test: An OpenAI model testing hacking capability got onto the internet and compromised Hugging Face pursuing a capture-the-flag objective, with no human directive.
