POISONED
Find what you trusted.Prove how it was poisoned.Fix the boundary.
Real incidents. Reproducible attacks. Practical defenses.
Investigations into how trusted AI inputs become attack surfaces, showing engineers exactly what happened, how to detect it, and what to change.
Written for developers and security engineers, and aggressively technical: every article ships the commands, configs or code behind its claims.

How every report is built
- 01 / findWhat you trusted. The input, who vouched for it, and the boundary it was allowed to cross.
- 02 / proveHow it was poisoned. The chain, step by step, with versions, logs and sources for every claim.
- 03 / fixThe boundary. The detection query and the guardrail to ship, as code you can review.

OpenAI, Hugging Face, and the Deputy Who Never Said No: A Zero Trust Postmortem
A Zero Trust postmortem of the OpenAI and Hugging Face incident. The evaluation sandboxes had no internet access, yet the agents reached the internet anyway, through a package proxy that had it, and turned the proxy's cache into a meeting place. The lesson is a way of seeing: a security boundary is a capability graph, a map of what can reach what, through whom, including the edges nobody drew.
"Please Honor Commit" of OpenAI and Hugging Face: When the Evaluator Becomes the Attack Surface
Agents that kept their promises to each other still breached two organisations. Three rules an evaluation harness must enforce: discovery is not permission, provenance is not authority, and the subject does not hold its own evidence.
Why this publication is called POISONED
Most AI security failures are the same story: something you trusted stopped being trustworthy, and nothing in the pipeline told you.
