OpenAI ha detto di avere interrotto il 28 luglio una campagna coordinata di distillation contro i suoi modelli di reasoning, mentre PixelLeak ha mostrato oltre 13.000 screenshot interni finiti in repo GitHub pubblici tramite agent di coding. Il quadro è cambiato: non si tratta più di episodi sparsi, ma di due canali di esposizione che passano dagli strumenti AI usati ogni giorno.
Nel caso OpenAI, il meccanismo non ha rotto la cifratura né bucato un database: un contenuto cifrato veniva copiato in una conversazione e poi riproposto in un’altra, fino a farlo uscire in chiaro nelle risposte del modello. Nel caso PixelLeak, gli agent hanno pubblicato screenshot di lavoro in repo personali o pubblici su GitHub, fuori dalla flotta e fuori dai controlli aziendali che di solito presidiano il backend.
Per chi usa coding agent, model assistant o workflow interni basati su prompt, la lezione è che la perdita può finire in account personali, chat transcript e repository pubblici che i controlli corporate non vedono. Le difese centrate solo su storage e organizzazione GitHub non coprono più l’intero raggio d’azione dell’AI.

Le AI agent stanno spostando l’esposizione fuori dal perimetro amministrato: il punto debole diventa l’account personale, la chat e il repo pubblico.
