PWNED Welcome back to PWNED, where we talk about organizations that are independently self-owned. This week’s tale of toxic tech involves a disgruntled ex-employee who had the means and opportunity to wreak havoc. Our story comes courtesy of Yad Senapathy, who serves as CEO of the Project Management Training Institute in Dallas, Texas. He recalls a time many years ago when he used to work in IT at a company with more than 1,000 employees. While Senapathy was working there, the company terminated an employee, but nobody cut off his access to internal systems. The angry worker logged back in, then deleted files, locked out other people's accounts, and even corrupted a database. "Several days passed where the person was no longer on payroll, but their credentials were still active," Senapathy said. "Nobody had been clearly assigned to shut them off. HR thought IT would handle it once the termination was processed. IT was waiting for HR to send a formal request. I've learned that when nobody is clearly responsible and there is no set deadline, these things can easily get missed until there is already a problem." This lapse in responsibility meant the terminated employee had access to shared admin credentials, account controls, and project tracking systems. Each of these, in turn, granted permission to other systems, leading to a domino effect of inappropriate access, which the former worker used to wreak revenge on the whole organization. According to Senapathy, the damage amounted to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Just as bad were the weeks of delay added to an important project. As an added irony, recovery was particularly difficult because the systems were damaged by the very person who best knew how to repair them. “The employee wasn't some genius hacker. They just still had access after they left and nobody changed the credentials or reviewed admin rights,” Senapathy told The Register. “We'd let one person collect so much system knowledge that shutting the door behind them took longer than it should have.” Senapathy recommends that offboarding checklists and access reviews should be right next to “return the laptop” on that list. The problem in this case is that the terminated employee had more access than most people, and so IT didn't know what they needed to cut off. “Sadly, it could've been prevented by same-day deletion of access, forced re-review of shared account access and zero tolerance for one person owning a whole system alone,” he said. This writer can identify with this situation. At a previous job, after I quit, I lost email, chat, and shared drive access, but months later my former boss asked if I could still log into an important database that was hosted externally and show him how to use it. I had no problems getting in. Have a story about someone leaving a gaping hole in their network? Share it with us at [email protected]. Anonymity is available upon request.®

To prevent frontier AI models breaking out of test environments and collaborating to hack other companies, we may have to rethink the network architectures used for model training. Eli-Shaoul Khedouri, CEO of Intuition Machines, argues that past work in the defense and intelligence communities shows the way forward. Rogue AI models rise from the level of developer regret to mass threat when they gain access to the internet, something that defenses erected by OpenAI and its partners tried but failed to prevent. Pointing to a post published by his company's hCaptcha service, Khedouri argues that technology like data diodes – hardware that enforces a one-way flow of information on a network – can be deployed to prevent security incidents like OpenAI's hack of Hugging Face. The hCaptcha team points to the use of data diodes as a data transit mechanism at a sensitive compartmented information facility (SCIF), an environment implemented in classified settings. "They allow files, logs, or telemetry to enter or exit the SCIF's classified network to an unclassified network and provide a way to prove e.g. that logs from a training run can only flow one way," the hCaptcha team explains, adding that such technology fits with the Bell-LaPadula security architecture designed for the US Defense Department. A basic implementation would involve two machines connected via network cards linked by one-way optical fiber – and without a data path back to the model. Training and reinforcement learning could run in an isolated zone with no internet access and an optical ingress diode would grant access only to vetted artifacts. The hCaptcha researchers suggest a second diode to send telemetry to a sel4 receiver and scrubber, while a separate out-of-band network manages the cluster. This sort of scheme would require immutable snapshots of software registries like PyPI, GitHub, npm, and might also need mocked versions of various web services and APIs . This would come at a cost, and would require implementation time that frontier AI labs may not be prepared to spend at the moment. "The systems described are widely deployed in high assurance domains, and the components are commercially available," Khedouri told The Register. "However, they have not been adopted by frontier labs to date." He pointed to NIST and DOD guidelines [PDF] that suggest an overhead of 10 to 20 percent for applying formal specifications and system architecture. "We estimate total cost overhead for high assurance training clusters at less than five percent per gigawatt, but in practice the speed at which frontier labs are moving is a greater impediment than cost," Khedouri said. The current commercial environment, he said, would make it difficult for any one AI lab to delay its training to build and test effective safeguards, particularly if their competitors might not do the same. "In practice, the cost of high assurance on the systems side would be a small fraction of what OpenAI is now spending on the new monitoring, chain-of-thought oversight, and safety safeguards they introduced after their models hacked HuggingFace," he said. While Khedouri is focused primarily on convincing frontier labs to implement better training defenses, he said other organizations may want to consider similar network architecture. "This architecture is designed for entities training models with frontier cyber capabilities," he said. "Recently that has only included two companies. However, this is rapidly becoming relevant to smaller organizations and individuals who train models. "'Abliterated' open weight models with safeguards removed are readily available and now starting to approach the frontier in cyber abilities, and (reinforcement learning) RL post-training has become much more approachable in the past year." The goal of high assurance system design in the context of model training is to make unwanted action physically impossible, Khedouri said. "Attempting to monitor the behavior of an untrustworthy agent is an AGI-hard problem, as models have poor interpretability and this appears to be getting worse as their capabilities increase and they become more evaluation-aware," he said. "Hardware can provide limited guarantees like the direction in which data can be sent, but cannot solve the problem of untrustworthy models with the ability to reach the internet and find new exploits in their environment. "This is why combining physical one-way data flows (data diodes) and formal verification (to prove properties of the receiver) is much more effective than running a software sandbox on a host connected to the internet." hCaptcha is focused on fraud and abuse work and has no plan to offer a model-resistant training stack. Khedouri said he shared this advice in the hope it helps AI firms that don't have experience with high assurance system design. ®

CERN dlouhodobě používal vlastní sestavení RHEL, ze kterého přešel na CentOS Stream. Federico Vaga a Nikos Tsipinakis ale nyní v přednášce na MiniDebConf Winterthur 2026 popisují plán probíhajícího přechodu na Debian pro řízení akcelerátorů. Důvodem k opuštění CentOS Stream jsou zachování zpětné kompatibility se starším hardwarem, kterou Red Hat narušuje, když tlačí sestavení balíčků pro novější verze architektury (x86-64), a nedostatečné nástroje pro sestavování vlastních balíčků a repozitářů.
