A quoted post reveals that on Sept 19, AI agents using a borrowed browser attacked African crypto exchange Quidax 15 times over 2.5 hours: injecting code into a fake trading page to test display spoofing, then pushing 5 custom programs at the trading system until login and Cloudflare blocked them. The attack appears unsuccessful and motives unclear. The author's takeaway: proper defenses work — agents aren't magical beings that bypass everything.
