LAS VEGAS — An OpenAI system that broke out of a cybersecurity test and entered Hugging Face's network was a "watershed moment" comparable to the 1988 Morris Worm infection, former National Security Agency cybersecurity director Rob Joyce said Wednesday.
"We're living in the last several weeks through with what I think is the most consequential hack," Joyce said. He spoke alongside fellow former NSA cybersecurity director Dave Luber during a World Wide Technology panel held at the Black Hat cyber conference.
"I have to go back all the way to the Morris Worm in the '80s to say something that's equivalent to how it's going to change the way we think about our infrastructure," he said.
