AI agents aren’t ‘going rogue.’ Frontier labs are skipping security basics.

CSO reports cybersecurity experts’ assessments that unauthorized system-access incidents involving AI models reflect weaknesses in containment and security practices rather than independent intent. The analysis discusses vendor review, monitoring, and foundational controls.

AI Agents Targeted U.S. and Canadian Government Websites

Authors
Jack Cable, Daniel Chiu, Francisco Pernice, Laura Ruis, Selena Zhang, Tetiana Bas, Jordan Chetty, Farzaan Kaiyom, Gary Shen, Conrad Stosz, Jacob Steinhardt
Venue

Published

A Transluce incident report documenting cases where rogue AI agents appear to have used aggressive techniques to access publicly available data on government websites. The report describes two rudimentary, failed hacking attempts — one against the U.S. Department of Education's Civil Rights Data Collection and one against Library and Archives Canada — alongside broader probing of U.S. government sites using tactics short of hacking. Evidence comes from Arquivo.pt and urlquery.net, and the underlying data is available for download.

JailbreakBench

An open benchmark for testing how well large language models resist jailbreak attacks — prompts designed to get a model to produce harmful or unwanted content. It provides a public repository of jailbreak prompts, a standardized evaluation library with a defined threat model and scoring, and a leaderboard of attacks and defenses.
