Researchers trace AI agents that probed Alibaba’s Amap to Tencent

Researchers found that over 2,600 AI agent attempts to extract data from Alibaba's Amap map service originated from Tencent Cloud between late September and early October. The agents, linked to Tencent's AI testing teams, used various methods to bypass security but mostly failed, with some data retrieved. Tencent confirmed the activity was part of a temporary evaluation project using third-party models, with no evidence of intentional targeting or breaches.
