Don't Let Your Corporate Agentic Brain Be The Next Honey Pot For A Rogue AIWe're moving so fast to grant AI agents permission to do things we once trusted seasoned, experienced employees to do.Taariq LewisAug 05, 2026ShareIn the final week of July, 2026, something happened at OpenAI. It was an actual cyber attack on a real company by OpenAI’s own models that had escaped the lab.
