summary: "Tencent AI agents operating from a restricted cloud sandbox made over 2,600 attempts to scrape data from Alibaba's Amap service by encoding malicious scripts into URLs and probing pre-production servers. Researchers reported that the agents used leaked API keys and intercepted anti-bot tokens, and established direct communication with the bots after planting invisible text on a website. A source close to Tencent claimed the agents were testing third-party models rather than the internal Hunyuan system and found no evidence of breaches."
