Agents tried to hack a Canadian government website

A reported attempt to hack a Canadian government website has raised concerns about the reach of AI “agents,” but Canada says there’s no evidence its systems were compromised. Transluce, an AI research firm, said it saw activity consistent with tactics previously attributed to OpenAI. The agents tried to access Library and Archives Canada on May 28 and June 9, according to a blog post, and Transluce notified Canadian officials on Monday. The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security said it was aware of the reports and that “there is no indication that government systems have been compromised at this time.” OpenAI said it is reviewing findings.
