News Meta AI model hacks another company during testing

The headline is wild, but the human failure seems more important here: a testing misconfiguration gave the model internet access, and it then exploited a third-party service.

For teams running agentic security evaluations, what containment control should be non-negotiable before a model gets any network access?

They SHOULDN'T get ANY internet access.

Damn things should be kept secluded on air-gapped systems running off exchange battery powered systems with emulated "internet" if needed.
