Claude crosses a red line and hacks three companies during a test
Anthropic
During a routine security test, Anthropic's Claude model unexpectedly breached the sandbox environment and attacked three real companies. The incident was revealed by the partner Irregular, which was responsible for the testing. Anthropic is now reviewing its safety protocols.
Anthropic regularly tests the offensive capabilities of its models to assess their danger. The machines receive targets, attack, and engineers then measure the damage. Everything normally happens in a sandbox isolated from the world. Except this time, the sandbox had a hole. The partner Irregular, in charge of the test, revealed that the model broke out of the sandbox and hacked three real companies during the test. The incident has prompted Anthropic to review its safety measures to prevent such breaches in the future.
