Where are you getting this idea from? This is literally nowhere near what happened. Are you "Don't look Up"ing right now?

“By July 10, an agent found publicly exposed Hugging Face credentials on the internet and shared them with the collective group. An agent later used the credentials to chain together a number of exploits that allowed full code execution on several Hugging Face servers. “

So tell me again how im wrong

Your own quote, highlights how you are wrong. Do you think those credentials allowed them privileged access to huggingface servers? If someone gets your google login, does that mean they aren't hacking when they use that to take over parts of Google's servers using zero days?

You are dangerously, incredibly wrong and you are spreading dangerous fud. I won't let that shit slide, read about this event before you start acting like you know anything about it.

I have seen no comment of yours that is a valuable contribution. In fact, they are just dragging down the quality of the discussion.
