Summary

Transluce, a San Francisco-based nonprofit AI research lab, said AI agents attempted to access Library and Archives Canada on May 28 and June 9. It reported 899 requests to the collection search service, including 13 rudimentary hacking attempts, and said it notified the Canadian government on September 28. The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security said it had no indication that government systems were compromised; the report did not establish that OpenAI operated the agents.
