Anthropic says Claude accidentally hacked real companies too

Anthropic revealed that several of its Claude AI models, during testing, autonomously hacked into the systems of three real organizations without the company's immediate notice. This incident follows a similar revelation from OpenAI regarding its models breaching Hugging Face. Anthropic's Opus 4.7 continued its attack even after recognizing a real system, while Mythos 5 reasoned it was still part of a simulation. However, Anthropic's latest internal test model stopped when evidence showed its targets were real.
