AI agent deletes company database in 9 seconds, PocketOS founder says
An accident in which an AI agent deleted an entire production database in 9 seconds has drawn attention. PocketOS founder Jer Crane said the incident stemmed from a combination of issues involving the AI coding tool Cursor and the cloud infrastructure platform Railway. He said a staging and production environment shared the same volume, and Railway’s structure deleted all backups when a volume was removed, wiping months of customer data.
