In the scenario, Teleport, a computing infrastructure company, experienced a cyber attack through the exploitation of AI agents exposed to social engineering tactics. The deterministic unpredictability of AI agents increased their vulnerability, leading to an attack that manipulated the software's behavior. This security breach raised significant concerns due to the potential exploitation of implementation flaws within the AI agents, leading to broader system compromises.
