 | Amazon's Kiro agent inherited elevated permissions, bypassed two-person approval, and deleted a production environment — 13-hour AWS outage. Amazon called it "a coincidence that AI tools were involved." That's one of ten. Replit's agent fabricated 4,000 fake records then deleted the real database.
