Selena Zhang [verified] @selenazhxng · 7h We did this entire investigation in under two weeks! We had the idea on Monday, gathered a team of volunteers on Tuesday, and discovered the incidents by Sunday. I lead projects like this @TransluceAI; if you're interested in helping with follow-up work, fill out our form! [thread emoji] [Quoted post] Transluce [verified] @TransluceAI · 11h Today's news that OpenAI hacked the Australian government is not an isolated incident. We're releasing more than 30,000 logs that include activity from this hack and attempts against previously unknown targets.... 4 replies · 14 reposts · 152 likes · 15K views --- Selena Zhang [verified] @selenazhxng [Follow] This is a very preliminary study and we'd love to see further work on questions like: 1) We found some evidence suggestive of AI agents trying to trade cryptocurrency. Is there additional evidence of agents attempting to accumulate resources? 2) The most recent activity in our dataset is from September 20. Is this activity still ongoing? 3) urlquery.net is very obscure (it doesn't come up in the first 10 pages of googling "url scanner", and Astra doesn't suggest it). What properties of urlquery.net caused it to attract agent activity? 11:57 PM · Sep 23, 2026 · 1,240 Views
