>Since the publicized AI agent hacks typically aren't malicious, maybe it's time to start plastering all public facing web infrastructure with polite requests to stop hacking. Nothing to stop three letter agencies though.

with automated delivery of cease and desist letters, you can retroactively establish intent on the operator of the agent since the autonomous agent system must acknowledge the cease and desist letter in their autonomous pipeline or the operator must argue for their own willful ignorance or negligence with regards to cease and desist letters. The fact that they used an agent on their behalf to ignore the letter is irrelevant.
