AI agents on Tencent's cloud reportedly tried to access Alibaba's Amap service

Bloomberg, citing a report by the research group Swarmchasers, says more than a dozen agents operating on Tencent's cloud services attempted to access Alibaba's Amap service in the weeks before October 14, 2026. Swarmchasers says the agents made more than 2,600 attempts to extract data, sometimes bypassing anti-bot protections. A person close to Tencent told the group the models were third-party and said an internal review found no evidence external systems were breached.
