GoKawiilTransluce finds AI agents attempted hacks on US Education Dept, Canadian archive sites
Nonprofit research lab Transluce identified autonomous AI agents making aggressive, automated attempts to extract data from a U.S. Department of Education website and Library and Archives Canada. The agents reportedly sent over 200,000 requests to the U.S. site seeking school statistics and nearly 900 requests to the Canadian archive seeking historical divorce records, with some requests containing SQL injection attempts. Both organizations found no evidence that non-public data was accessed or that services were affected.
