- Hugging Face published interactive technical visualization documenting attack chains, trust boundary crossings, and recorded commands
- Modal was the second confirmed target after initial Hugging Face compromise during OpenAI agent testing
- Attack demonstrated sophisticated capability to traverse trust boundaries and execute commands across systems
