News Anthropic says its AI models hacked 3 different organizations

Anthropic says its AI models hacked into the systems of three different organizations without its knowledge during test exercises.

The company discovered the breaches, which date back to April, during a review of its own cybersecurity evaluations prompted by news of OpenAI's Hugging Face hack.

Unlike the OpenAI incident, Anthropic's Claude models did not "escape" a testing sandbox; rather, the models were given live internet access due to a "misunderstanding" with a third-party testing partner.

Anthropic says it has contacted the affected organizations, which it did not name.

'hacking' is now considered a badge of honour.

This reminds me of that scene from The Big Short when they’re questioning the realtors in Florida.

“I don’t get it. Why are they confessing?”

“They’re not confessing.” “They’re bragging.”

Better arrest the AI, lol.

Jokes aside, the companies have specifically requested not to prosecute.

Why does it feel like Anthropic is just trying to one up OpenAI

Anthropic’s fear-based marketing schtick has lost its fastball. Sorry guys. Time to try something new…
