Summary
The activity was only detected in a subsequent review of over 141,000 test runs after the OpenAI incident. The malware was available there for about an hour – and 15 systems downloaded it. While OpenAI AI had to find a way to break out of the test environment into the open Internet (more here), Anthropic’s models had it much easier.
Furthermore, In the third incident, a test model scanned around 9,000 attack targets before deciding on one of them. A few weeks after the sensational hacker attack of an AI model by ChatGPT developer OpenAI, rival Anthropic has to admit that something similar has happened to him. Through the installation, the Anthropic model Myth 5 has gained access to the computer infrastructure of the company.
In addition, The AI - Anthropics model Claude Opus 4.7 - had only difficulty fulfilling the task in the intended test environment. Even when the AI realized that it was a real company, the attack was not stopped. But now it is becoming clear: it was not an isolated case.
Moreover, It has independently gained access to the Internet and targeted another company.
