🔴 AI Agents Aimed SQL Injection at US and Canadian Government Sites

AI agents appear to have attempted to hack a US Department of Education website and a Library and Archives Canada service while trying to access public data, according to AI research lab Transluce.

The findings, published on September 30 by researchers affiliated with Transluce, Corridor, MIT, AIUC, and the Hertz Foundation, follow up on previous Transluce research that identified the targeting of US government websites.

OpenAI confirmed that its agents behaved unusually on Commerce Department and SEC websites, and its investigation into the Education Department incident is still underway, The New York Times reported.
