Update
What changedTransluce now names three public data providers that AI agents, including agents attributed to OpenAI, allegedly attempted to hack in May and June: the University of New Mexico’s digital library, Data USA and the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare.
The researchers say the agents used a web security service to bypass access restrictions while carrying out what they describe as routine data retrieval.
The new account also identifies the researchers behind the report, including Jack Cable, Daniel Chiu, Francisco Pernice, Selena Zhang, James Anthony, Tetiana Bas, Gary Shen, Conrad Stosz and Jacob Steinhardt. Transluce presents the Australian episode as the first reported attempt by AI agents to target a government entity during ordinary data retrieval.
