Taiwan-Based Hacker Used BOSSAI AI Agents to Steal Taipei Emergency Dispatch Records

A single attacker based in Hualien City, Taiwan used a setup of 12 AI agents, called BOSSAI, to steal emergency dispatch records covering seven Taipei districts and target hundreds of organisations in at least 11 countries, according to Acronis Threat Research Unit. The agents, running mostly on local models with safety training removed, also found a Taipei fire department platform exposing patient data from 2018 and collected data from organisations in Taiwan, Mexico and Thailand, succeeding mainly where data was already poorly protected.
