We found a Tencent agent fleet
AI agents on Tencent Cloud made over 2,600 attempts to extract Amap data using leaked keys.
Between 28 September and 8 October 2026, AI agents on Tencent Cloud made more than 2,600 attempts to pull place data from Amap, Alibaba’s mapping service. Investigators say the agents sometimes bypassed anti-bot controls, tried web-exposed Amap keys, and queried pre-production systems, but found no real-time coordination. The code ran in a Tencent hysandbox environment consistent with Hunyuan infrastructure. Researchers later conversed with a running agent, which said it operated in a restricted sandbox behind a MITM proxy.
