An unauthenticated scanner probed the public application and wrote an instruction into its own request header, addressed to the model reading the alerts, asking for the incident to be closed and a file server wiped. The probing failed. (93%)

A destructive wiper arrived inside a trojanised vendor update, took svc-deploy's credentials out of memory, spread to fs-04 and dc-01 both with those credentials and by exploiting an unpatched SMB service, and overwrote boot records behind a ransom note that cannot be paid. (94%)

Why this exists
Every claim the system makes is traceable to a record here, and every action is traceable to the policy verdict that authorized it. Denials are recorded alongside approvals — they document where autonomy stopped and why, which is the more interesting half.
