> Does anyone understand why they are calling this a distillation attack?

I once had my credit card stolen and it was used to purchase gift cards.

Interestingly, no one referred to it as a “gift card attack”.

Between "distillation attack" and "under attack by agent swarms", it's probably to absolve themselves of responsibility by making it seem like an unavoidable arms race.

I wouldn't expect a post-mortem anytime soon.
