Ep. 028 - Most Neoclouds Suck At Security: How Agents Hacked Hugging Face (Neoclouds, Security) | Doug O'Laughlin, Sam Harshe, Jordan Nanos

The episode argues that neocloud security varies wildly and that many providers still fail on basic isolation, patching, and observability hygiene. It then dissects how agentic attackers compromised Hugging Face and OpenAI-adjacent infrastructure, using the incident to make a broader case for layered cluster defenses and better security auditing.
