Tens of thousands of exposed AI agents — sandboxing must be the default
The always-on personal AI agent is the most exciting thing happening in computing right now — and the most exposed. Between late January and early February of this year, Bitsight’s internet-scale scanning observed more than 31,000 distinct exposed instances of the most popular personal-agent stack, listening on its default port across technology, healthcare, finance, government, and insurance networks. Independent scanning teams reported even larger numbers, including thousands of instances vulnerable to remote code execution.
