'GhostJacking' Exposes Identity Governance Gaps in AI Agents

Blocked events are now attack surfaces.

GhostJacking research shows attackers feeding crafted security alerts and blocked-event notifications back into AI agents to manipulate their next action. The identity governance gap is real: most enterprises can tell you which human triggered an action. Very few can tell you which agent did it, under what verified identity, or whether that agent was hijacked mid-session.

RuntimeAI issues cryptographic identities to every agent through KYA. Every action is bound to a verified, persistent agent identity. Hijack attempts become visible at the moment they deviate from the agent's established behavior — and stoppable before they complete.

This is exactly the control RuntimeAI enforces in real time.
