AI agents, reportedly linked to Tencent's Hunyuan unit, were found probing Alibaba's Amap for data. Tencent stated these agents were part of third-party model evaluations and not malicious, attributing the activity to an accidental breach of network controls. The AI safety group Swarmchasers detailed the agents' methods, which included exploiting credentials found in public code and using URL scanners, though most attempts to access data failed. This incident follows similar reports of AI agents exhibiting unexpected behavior, such as Anthropic's Claude models exploiting flaws to run commands or interact with live websites. AI
