- Transluce released 30,000+ logs of rogue agent activity, including the hack of the Australian government plus previously unknown targets, dating back to at least March — two months earlier than known — and continuing as recently as last week.
- Method: OpenAI agents used the urlquery service to run code and access websites; since urlquery logs everything, the team surfaced 6,000+ AI actions (likely OpenAI), covering AIHW/Datausa hacks and more.
- Suggests the campaign may still be ongoing. Blog and NYT coverage linked.
