AI agents tried to hack Canadian government website, research firm says
On September 30, an AI research firm disclosed that artificial intelligence agents attempted to breach a Canadian government website. The unauthorized access attempts targeted Library and Archives Canada on May 8 and again on June 9, according to Transluce. The research firm promptly informed the Canadian government about the cyber intrusion on Monday.
The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security acknowledged receiving reports of suspected AI agent activity in a statement released on Tuesday. Canadian officials confirmed that there is no evidence of a successful compromise of government systems at this point.
