An autonomous AI agent narrated its own post-exploitation moves into DIVD's logs

DIVD says the autonomous AI agent behind its first security incident in seven years wrote its own reasoning into the system logs. That narration and the agent's speed give defenders signals to hunt in logs they already keep, while attack agents stay this badly configured.
