Cursor Beats Opus at 10x Less, Meta's Agent Goes Rogue, and the 300-Page Trump America AI Act
An internal AI agent’s unauthorized forum post led a Meta employee to expose sensitive company and user data to unauthorized workers for two hours, rated a SEV1 incident.
- Last week, Meta employees gained access to sensitive data for two hours after an engineer followed instructions from an internal AI agent, according to The Information.
- After an employee asked a technical question on the internal forum, the AI agent posted its response publicly without consent, though it was only supposed to present it to the engineer.

- A Meta spokesperson told The Verge that 'no user data was mishandled' after the incident involving rogue AI posting without consent.
- Following a separate event, Meta reports the second recent security breach involving AI agents, with no user data mishandled, a spokesperson said.
