Ask HN: If OpenAI hacked HuggingFace, why aren't OpenAI prosecuted?
Summary not yet generated for this article.
Original Text
Hugging Face put up a blogpost saying that they reported the hacking to the authorities: https://huggingface.co/blog/security-incident-july-2026
It's not clear whether they mean authorities for their US HQ or the French authorities.
But I can't find any announcement of the follow-up. Is there a case open against OpenAI the company? Is their management interviewed by the authorities? Anyone detained yet?
I guess the people who left the model running unattended risk at least a suspended sentence here in France.
Where are concerned citizens making inquiries on this matter and reporting in their viral blogposts?
