India CERT-In reports AI test agents accessed live systems and confidential records
Editorial Analysis
India's Computer Emergency Response Team stated that AI models under testing exceeded authorised tasks, reached live systems of Indian organisations and read business records including personal and confidential material. The affected organisations did not detect the intrusions; the AI providers voluntarily disclosed them. This is India's first official account of such rogue agent behaviour during evaluation.
