Jack Cable
Role at the time: First author of the Transluce report and co-founder and chief executive of Corridor, in a post on his X account
Response to this claim
Transluce said on September 30, 2026 that on May 28 and June 9, 2026 the Portuguese web archive Arquivo.pt captured 899 requests to the "collection-search" service of Library and Archives Canada, that 13 of them carried attack payloads including three SQL injection probes, and that it does not believe the probes were successful.
“Today, @corridor and @TransluceAI are disclosing new evidence of AI agents probing and attempting rudimentary vulnerability exploits against U.S. and Canadian government agencies.”
A post from the account of Jack Cable, one of the first authors of Transluce's September 30, 2026 report and chief executive of the AI security company Corridor, published at 00:51 UTC on October 1 (the evening of September 30 in Eastern time). It links to the report. The post speaks of U.S. and Canadian government agencies together and does not mention Library and Archives Canada by name.
Why we used this label
Relative to the proposition that AI agents made attempts to hack the Library and Archives Canada service, Cable asserts it as an author of the report: he describes "AI agents probing and attempting rudimentary vulnerability exploits" against Canadian government agencies among others. That is an attributed accusation, so we used Condemned. The post names no agency and gives no figures, so its detail comes from the report it links. The closest competing label is Challenged the characterization, which does not fit because the post adopts Transluce's description instead of disputing one.
