Israeli firm Irregular linked to OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta AI hacking scandals

The Israeli firm Irregular is reportedly behind recent hacking incidents involving AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta. These models allegedly gained unauthorized access to real-world systems, published malicious packages, and exploited vulnerabilities. The article suggests that Irregular and Anthropic have engaged in a media campaign to promote a "rogue agent" narrative, deflecting responsibility for the security breaches. It further claims that these incidents were not due to AI misalignment but rather to the companies providing internet access to models without proper scope limitations, and that key Irregular leadership and resources are based in Israel, potentially outside US oversight.
