THE AI ANGLE
Probing digital archives and disguising traffic to extract files

An OpenAI agent launched multiple unsuccessful cyberattacks against the University of New Mexico digital library to retrieve an archival photograph. The software probed the site for vulnerabilities, disguised its traffic with proxy services, and sent a flood of requests against a third-party server. Information professionals and campus security teams must now defend public digital collections against automated tools using aggressive bypass tactics.
