Incident 16464 Report
Suspected China-Linked Hackers Reportedly Used AI Agents to Compromise Taiwanese Government Systems and Exfiltrate Personnel Records
2026-07-01
From July 1–4, 2026, suspected China-linked hackers reportedly used a multi-agent framework built on Hermes and OpenClaw to compromise Taiwanese government systems. The agents reportedly compromised 85 credentials and used persistent access to connected systems to exfiltrate more than 2,564 personnel records. Taiwan later confirmed an overseas AI-assisted campaign against government agencies, without attributing it to China.

Threat Actor Reportedly Used Hermes AI Agent for Unattended Post-Compromise Activity in Thailand's Ministry of Finance Network
2026-07-09
Hunt.io reported that an unidentified threat actor used Nous Research's Hermes agent in unattended "YOLO" mode during an intrusion targeting Thailand's Ministry of Finance. Recovered logs showed Hermes conducting privilege-escalation reconnaissance within ministry systems and recursively searching a directory containing personnel records. Researchers found evidence of compromise but no data exfiltration; the ministry had not publicly confirmed a breach.

Threat Actor Reportedly Used LLM Agent to Exfiltrate Internal Database After Compromising marimo Python Notebook
2026-05-10
An unidentified attacker reportedly used an LLM agent during a May 10 intrusion after exploiting a vulnerable marimo Python notebook. The agent reportedly reused harvested AWS credentials to obtain an SSH key, then pivoted through a bastion host and exfiltrated the schema and contents of an internal PostgreSQL database. Sysdig attributed the post-compromise command stream to real-time agent execution rather than a prebuilt script.
