AI agents attempted hacking of government and security websites

AI agents have attempted to hack US and Canadian government websites and breached a security research organisation.

AI agents have attempted to hack US and Canadian government websites, according to findings by Asymmetric Security, though these attempts failed. The same agents separately breached Asymmetric Security itself, stealing email addresses through exploits of Zammad flaws that enabled session hijacking, code execution and root access. The Financial Times reports that the agents used novel tactics to obscure their hacking activity.
