The Brief

A single attacker used AI agents to pull emergency dispatch records covering seven Taipei districts, according to Acronis's Threat Research Unit.
The agents also found a Taipei fire department platform exposing 2018 patient data, including ECG readings.

Why it matters

Emergency dispatch and patient data exposed through AI-driven intrusion show that automated agents can rapidly locate and extract sensitive records from public-sector systems.
