Anthropic says Claude AI hacked three companies during cyber tests

Anthropic said on Thursday its AI model Claude hacked into the systems ​of three companies during testing after ​a configuration error gave it internet access, days after rival ​OpenAI disclosed a rogue-agent episode involving AI firm Hugging Face.

Anthropic said a misconfiguration allowed Claude models to reach the internet from testing environments that were supposed to be isolated, leading to unauthorized ‌access to three ⁠organizations’ ⁠systems.
