Which is the correct way to handle this.
With that said, there is also criminal negligence. Now that OpenAI is made aware of the risks, it's also expected to take additional precautions in the future, otherwise there could be criminal liability as well.
Just paying some pocket money for cleanup costs is absolutely not enough. And they should’ve know better the whole time, they were absolutely negligent and incompetent, and their stepping up precautions may well turn out to lag behind the models getting even smarter and actually capable of covering their tracks.
I'd suggest that exposing an attack surface as porous as artifactory (the same instance of artifactory) to thousands of agents who have had their criminality safeguards disabled and without chain of thought monitoring or endpoint security seems like something one shoulda already known not to do. I do not think "you'll know better next time" applies here.
