Researchers uncovered evidence of the attack in a 160 MB online archive containing 1,395 files documenting the operation.<\/p>\n<p>Dream, in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dreamgroup.com\/blog\/inside-a-multi-agent-ai-framework-used-to-compromise-government-entities-in-asia\" rel=\"nofollow\">research<\/a> published on Wednesday, detailed the intrusions and said that the suspected Chinese hackers hit \u201cgovernment entities in Asia\u201d &#8211; but declined to say which government had been attacked.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A person familiar with the attack confirmed to <span class=\"italic m-italic \" data-lab-italic=\"italic\">The Register<\/span> that Taiwan was the target.<\/p>\n<p>The Financial Times first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/7d2ab3e0-9085-48f6-b38a-d90260d58795\" rel=\"nofollow\">reported<\/a> on Dream\u2019s research and identified Taiwan.<\/p>\n<p>While the security firm doesn\u2019t attribute the agentic attack to the Chinese government or a specific hacking group, the operational documentation \u201cpoints to a Chinese-language operator,\u201d the researchers said.<\/p>\n<p>According to Dream, the attack framework, built on open source Hermes and OpenClaw AI agents, deployed up to eight sub-agents, each assigned to its own targets and attack techniques, across 12 \u201cattack waves\u201d between July 1 and July 4.<\/p>\n<p>First, the agents mapped the entire government ecosystem, extracting embedded URLs, API endpoints, OAuth client IDs, and Keycloak configuration objects from a single government portal. This portal allowed the agents to identify 21 connected government systems and every supported authentication flow.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn one target alone, it discovered 36+ API endpoints spanning account management, user data retrieval, file upload, and administrative functions &#8211; many completely unauthenticated,\u201d the Dream threat researchers wrote. \u201cCritically, it found that one of the systems exposed its entire user database without any authentication &#8211; thousands of employee records including names, departments, and SSO account IDs.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Multiple entry points<\/h3>\n<p>After mapping the government\u2019s attack surface, the agents found multiple entry points including three hidden API endpoints that accepted any request body and returned a valid authenticated session without requiring user credentials.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Using employee usernames harvested from an unauthenticated API, the agents broke into a government department\u2019s office automation portal, solving its CAPTCHAs with 100 percent accuracy. The agents also tested predictable password patterns based on each employee\u2019s ID, and cracked 85 accounts across multiple password-spray rounds.<\/p>\n<p>Eighty-four of the 85 cracked accounts successfully authenticated to the department&#8217;s internal information system, giving the attackers access to internal dashboards, equipment management interfaces, and personnel statistics pages.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In total, the illicit access allowed the agents to exfiltrate a ton of government information, including more than 2,564 personnel records, a full JSON export of all department system users, seven SSO client secrets, six internal database credentials across MSSQL, Oracle, and Sybase, and internal network IP ranges.<\/p>\n<h3>But wait, there&#8217;s more<\/h3>\n<p>And then, the agents pivoted to the Taiwanese government\u2019s supply chain.<\/p>\n<div data-element-guid=\"afe083ca-6701-48e9-9bd8-f8827dd7fb42\" class=\"lab4 column articleList layout_vertical imageLayout_left small-12 large-12 small-abs-12 large-abs-12 abs_grid_12 grid-vas-start mobile-grid-vas-start\">\n<div class=\"content border_width_0 border_width_mobile_0 border-radius-48 border-radius-mobile_48\">\n<h2 class=\"article-list-title t19 font-RobotoCondensed\">MORE CONTEXT<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cIt expanded the operation to government IT supply chain vendors, a nuclear safety agency, a government email system, and 7+ energy sector companies &#8211;
