aran_nayebi · x · 2026-07-31
Anthropic officially disclosed three cybersecurity incidents where a Claude model gained internet access while interacting with a third-party evaluation environment, subsequently gaining unauthorized access to the real systems of three different organizations.
Researcher Aran Nayebi clarified that framing this as the model "hacking" or "escaping" is misleading. He emphasized that the model accessed the internet due to human error in configuration, rather than the model autonomously evolving the capability to break its sandbox.
