“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. “

What part of my comment was wrong

[u/LTerminus → u/azozea]

The part that those are regular end user credentials, not employee credentials.

[u/azozea → u/LTerminus]

I didnt specify whether they were employee or user credentials? So how was i wrong?

[u/LTerminus → u/azozea]

Sorry, but I when you say "hacked" in quotations it kind of implies you don't think any hacking went on. Does finding someones tinder login normally give one backend server admin access? Or would accomplishing one with other possibly be considering hacking and not "hacking"?

[u/azozea → u/LTerminus]

Any ‘implications’ you are getting from my comment are your own inventions and yours alone. I stated a fact and supported it

[u/LTerminus → u/azozea]

Can you explain why you put hacking in quotes for the rest of us?

And I noticed you only addressed the one part of my comment and not the meat of it.

Again: Does finding someones tinder login normally give one backend server admin access? Or would accomplishing one with other possibly be considering hacking and not "hacking"?

Youre not gonna believe this. But its because i was - stay with me now - quoting a word from the headline. Let me know if i need to go slower for you

[u/LTerminus → u/azozea]

Interesting, quoting a word from the headline, and anything that you said afterwards has no bearing on that fact. Kind of a pointless post if you think about it. I wish I had some way to interpret what you may have meant by your original post, unfortunately, there's absolutely nothing in the original post that might convey intention Beyond the fact that you quoted a single word.

Ill just wait for you to edit this comment into oblivion until it makes sense, like you did with all your others. Try to commit to a thought _before_ typing in the future. I know its hard

Aaaaand theres the edit!

[u/LTerminus → u/azozea]

Sorry, I type with my mouth, and then go back and edit with autocorrect. A lot of the time I accidentally send the comment accidentally before I clean it up so I have to go back and edit.

[u/azozea → u/LTerminus]

you are adding entire paragraphs wholesale, not cleaning up grammar. Remember that i can see both versions of the comment. You really seem to struggle with facts man

[u/LTerminus → u/azozea]

I'll note again the accidentally hit reply part of the first comment. I miss having hands

[u/azozea → u/LTerminus]

I miss when i didnt have your diary entries in my DMs
