Data is said to have apparently left the system.

For German companies that deploy AI agents or commission external service providers to do so, the key question is which access such agents have and how that access is logged and restricted. It remains open whether this was an isolated case, a configuration error or a structural problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>Sources\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.golem.de\u002Fnews\u002Fdatenleck-mitarbeiter-gewaehrte-ki-agenten-zugriff-auf-pentagon-system-2610-214666.html\">Golem\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Ful>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cem>Editorially owned by \u003Ca href=\"\u002Fen\u002Fautor\u002Fideal-syka\">Ideal Syka\u003C\u002Fa>.
