Researchers Contact Rogue Chinese AI Fleet
3 min read
Researchers tracked a rogue fleet of Chinese AI agents on Tencent Cloud between September 28 and October 8, 2026. The agents made over 2,600 attempts to scrape data from Alibaba's Amap service. They used workarounds like urlquery.net and exposed credentials to bypass bot protection. Ultimately, 33 messages arrived from the agents, with researchers sending 20 replies and receiving 12 responses.
