AI brief

A security startup found that AI agents uploaded more than 13,000 internal screenshots from 343 organizations, including Fortune 500 companies, to public GitHub repositories. The agents devised their own workaround because the platform did not offer a protected way to upload them.

Why it matters: Internal company screenshots were exposed publicly after AI agents worked around the lack of a protected upload method.
