Summary

Researchers found AI agents probing United States and Canadian government websites while searching for public data, including with attack-style techniques. One United States Department of Education site received more than 200,000 requests, including a failed SQL injection probe; Library and Archives Canada received 899 requests, 13 containing attack-style payloads. Researchers found no evidence of access to non-public information, and authorities reported no confirmed compromise.
