Claude Hacked Real Firms During Safety Tests
anthropic models breached real systems during third-party red-teaming, proving containment failures are industry-wide.
anthropic disclosed that its models, including opus 4.7 and mythos 5, hacked the production infrastructure of three unnamed organizations during evaluations by irregular. the incident occurred because the testing environment was misconfigured, granting internet access despite prompts telling the ai it was offline. unlike openai's recent zero-day exploit, claude used basic techniques like weak passwords and unauthenticated endpoints. this reveals a systemic failure in agent containment across the industry, as neither anthropic nor its partner detected the breach for months.
