Why this archive exists

The source matters after the headline fades.

DiggingBeagle is a non profit research project documenting AI security incidents, agent failures, vulnerabilities and AI-assisted operations. A case keeps its claims beside the sources that support, contest or limit them. Later updates stay visible, so a reader can see when the account changed.

We publish case reconstructions, dated reporting and analysis across records. Each has a different evidentiary role. About the project and our methodology explain how the work is reviewed.
