If they were to press charges probably the guy, but the “hack” was so low stakes, he just cut someone on a wait-list, that the gym or cops probably won’t go after him.
Also the gym may hold some responsibility since the endpoint had no auth which is negligence, so they’d probably want to keep this on the down low.
It’s not clear from the article; who is being held responsible for this attack?
No one. It was ‘autonomous’. That’s just the way the world is now. You have to accept it so that we can win the AI war.
Cool. Now I can attack the White House without repercussions

The guy did ask Claude to uncancel the appointment, so that’s nice.
There was no attack, this is all just an ad. Didn’t the guy in question work for an AI company?
Yes, but I don’t see the angle where his company directly benefited–the marketing win goes to Claude.
Somehow these huge “wins” feel alot like just a shitty gym using a shitty website with a shitty API.
The people who wrote this trash software should be held responsible.
But this is so ubiquitous that these stories will continue forever with more clickbait phony “AI” hysteria bullshit.
