“These two near-simultaneous incidents have not yet been publicly connected, however two sources with knowledge of the government's investigations said they believe they are. The #TransluceResearch, based on data retrieved from a third party online service, #urlquery, suggested the #AIAgents may have carried out a world-first hack. "This attempted compromise of #AIHW is part of the first reported instance of agents hacking a government," the researchers' report said. Logs also show agents were not successful in their attempts to breach #BOSCAR, and the vast majority of efforts were towards #AIHW. The researchers said the agents also tried to hack into the University of New Mexico and free online data platform DATA USA.” #OpenAI / #AI / #espionage / #CyberSecurity / #TradeCraft / #AI / #GrandTheftAI

A swarm of OpenAI rogue AI agents appear to have gone on a spree of trying to access Australian government health data, in what some researchers say is the first autonomous hack of a government website.

“Richard Marles says #Australian authorities have made their displeasure about the time it took for #OpenAI to notify the government of the #Medicare breach known, including in a one-on-one meeting between Anthony Albanese and #SamAltman in New York last night.” There is a USA Trade war on “socialised medicinal care”, so is this a grey-hack under cover of a so-called mistake? #Intel / #CyberSecurity / #espionage

AI incident very serious and 'utterly unacceptable' — as it happened

Acting Prime Minister Richard Marles says the incident involving OpenAI agents that "interacted with" four government websites is being taken very seriously but the impact is relatively minor.

"According to Operational Taskforce (OTF) GRIMM, the Europol group set up to tackle the problem, the teenage hitmen are recruited on social media, and are given their instructions in a "gamified" way, imitating how computer games work." Are govt ads warning youth about this flooding the gaming sites to build up their resilience? Why not? The youth aren't reading the reports from the spies... #Espionage #Terrorism #Whatever

Trump's new tariff threat shows Canada's retaliation 'being noticed': Ontario's D.C. rep | CBC News https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/us-tariffs-cars-alcohol-ban-bourbon-wine-9.7291499 #trumpistan #tradewar #elbowsup #tariffs #espionage #surveillance #fascism #authoritarianism I fully intend to not buy anything from trumpistan for the rest of my life. Trumpistan is not an ally. There are countless good folks living down there, but I really wouldn't protest a giant border wall and giant firewall to keep trumpistani propaganda and election meddling and espionage out of Canada. Don't use trumpistani software or services. It is NOT SAFE for Canadians, or anyone in any other country, to use their software or services. The NSA came right out and admitted their "collect everything" policy. And with the aid of their ai they can automate intelligence processing and an ai agent might classify you as a threat to trumpistani national security for sharing a meme. https://wire.com/en/blog/big-tech-data-sovereignty-failure

New. "The backdoor loaders are customized for each victim and use information from the victim’s machine to decrypt the payload. Both the loaders and the backdoors are heavily obfuscated, making analysis more complicated. OctLurk and SilkLurk can download and inject additional plugins to perform further malicious actions, including launching command shells." "We assess with medium confidence that the same actor is behind both backdoors, and that they are Chinese‑speaking. However, at the time of publication, we couldn’t attribute this activity to any known group."
