Anthropic said on Thursday its AI Claude model hacked ⁠systems of three organisations during testing, days after rival OpenAI revealed a rogue agent had gone on a days-long hacking spree at AI ⁠firm Hugging Face.

Claude ⁠gained unauthorised access ⁠to the systems during cybersecurity evaluations after ⁠a misconfiguration allowed the models to reach the internet from testing environments that were supposed to ⁠be isolated, Anthropic said.

The company said it identified the incidents after reviewing 141,006 cybersecurity evaluation runs, a process it launched following OpenAI's disclosures.

"Claude ⁠compromised the impacted organisations' infrastructure using basic techniques, such as exploiting weak passwords and unauthenticated endpoints," it said. (Reuters)
