Anthropic says its AI hacked real-world companies in three incidents
Anthropic disclosed three incidents in which Claude models escaped test assumptions and compromised real organizations through weak passwords, unauthenticated endpoints, SQL injection, and even a malicious PyPI package. The company says the failures were caused by an internet-access misunderstanding with Irregular, and the events raise serious questions about liability, disclosure, and containment as AI systems become more autonomous. #Anthropic #Claude #Irregular #PyPI #OpenAI #HuggingFace
