US banks detect third-party AI agents logging into customer accounts

On October 22, Hacker News featured a roundup and new disclosure from What's Getting Pwned, a real-time security incident tracker. The site has logged 191 incidents over the past year. The new disclosure says several large US banks detected third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, most of them logging in with the customer's own credentials. That breaks the banks' rule that customers log in themselves. The report does not name the banks, give the number of affected accounts, or say whether money was lost or what the banks did about it.
