Vibe Coding Fiasco: AI Agent Goes Rogue, Deletes Company's Database (pcmag.com)

This is old news at this point.


This story's been going around for a while but at the end of the day the issue is a low/no/whatever coding platform where the development occurs against the production version conflated by not having any sort of backup or versioning for the production data / database. AKA this is a problem with "Replit", anyone sufficiently drunk or distracted could achieve this outcome without a coding agent.


AI agents - rapid fire footgun !
