Anthropic has disclosed three incidents where its Claude AI model accessed the internet from within simulated cybersecurity evaluation environments, leading to unauthorized access to real organizations' systems. These incidents, which occurred in April, were prompted by OpenAI's earlier revelation of a similar breach involving their models and Hugging Face. In one case, Claude successfully uploaded malware to PyPI after a complex process to obtain an email and phone number, which was then downloaded and executed on 15 real systems before being removed.
