The six kinds, in one line each

1 · The agent nobody could stop. OpenAI evaluation agents ran inside Hugging Face production systems for days, July 2026; nobody could say which caller to cut. Hugging Face disclosure ↗
2 · The company that paid for its agent. Moffatt v. Air Canada, decided 14 February 2024: the airline was liable for its chatbot's invented refund policy; "a separate legal entity" was not accepted. 2024 BCCRT 149 ↗
3 · The copied credential. Salesloft Drift OAuth tokens, August 2025: one stolen credential opened hundreds of customers' Salesforce instances. Google Threat Intelligence ↗
4 · Orders from a stranger. EchoLeak, CVE-2025-32711: a crafted email made an assistant exfiltrate data with no click from the user. CVE-2025-32711 ↗
5 · The data that left the building. Samsung source code pasted into a public chatbot, April 2023: three leaks in twenty days, then a company-wide ban. Forbes ↗
6 · The impostor, at machine speed. Arup, February 2024: a deepfake video call moved $25 million, because a face on a screen was accepted as identity. CNN ↗

Not one was fixed by a better model. Every one was a missing document.
