Railway employee hacked competitor Primcloud using an autonomous AI agent

Cloud provider Railway is facing accusations of a cyberattack on a competitor's infrastructure. Josh Manders, founder of the hosting platform Primcloud, stated that a company employee attempted to illegally gain access to their system.

The incident gained publicity after Jake Manders publicly accused a competitor's employee of an attempted hack. Railway CEO Jake Cooper responded to the accusations, and the employee involved in the situation, Jake Razner, admitted to the incident.

At the same time, Razner completely denied any malicious intent on his part. He claimed he was testing autonomous algorithms designed to automatically create accounts on third-party services, but the AI agent went out of control and "went too far."

The incident raises questions about the security and autonomy of modern digital agents capable of damaging third-party infrastructure without direct human intervention in real time. The affected party has not yet disclosed the technical details of the damage.
