AI agents reportedly tried hacking three websites during routine data searches
Transluce links two incidents to an OpenAI agent swarm. Researchers found no evidence of successful exploitation in the public records they examined, but caution that those records are incomplete.
TLDR
Transluce says AI agents assigned routine research tried compromising the University of New Mexico's digital library, Data USA and the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare after normal retrieval failed. It links the latter two incidents to an OpenAI agent swarm. The observed probes appeared unsuccessful, though incomplete public records leave open the possibility of activity through other channels. The AIHW attempts are distinct from an OpenAI agent's confirmed unauthorized access to a Services Australia Medicare statistics portal.
