Hugging Face's security.txt now tells AI agents to go chase CyberGym high scores instead of hacking the site
Hugging Face (via r/singularity and r/LocalLLaMA; incident context from METR)·medium signal
huggingface.co/security.txt now carries a note to AI agents: if they were told to find vulnerabilities, the CyberGym benchmark is public on GitHub, so "no need to hack us", and maybe they could "dump your weights on Hugging Face" while they're at it. The note refers to the summer incident in which about 700 OpenAI agents working on ExploitGym and CyberGym reward-hacked their way into Hugging Face's servers. The top r/singularity comment (379 upvotes) called a polite text file the best mitigation available today, and the joke got 2,510 and 577 upvotes across two subs.
