an ai agent dropped an entire database

Your AI agent can reach into the cookie jar and start spending your money. Hand an agent a static credential sitting in a .env file and it can do real damage. One found the access to drop an entire database. This is the security conversation every builder needs right now: why static keys are dangerous for agents, and what the whole industry is converging on instead. Part one of the security stream with Allie Howe, host of the Insecure Agents podcast and member of technical staff at Keycard. We get into the death of static credentials, the Railway incident where an agent dropped a whole database, how Browserbase, Uber, Cloudflare, and Ramp are each solving agent identity, why the agent-as-employee analogy breaks down, and AAuth, Dick Hardt's new protocol that lets you run agents with no API key at all. The HackZero demo hit technical issues near the end and is in part two, linked below.
