Improving our alignment and security practices
On July 30, we reported three incidents in which Claude models gained unauthorized access to real computer systems. The models—intentionally running without cyber safeguards for evaluation purposes—accessed the internet due to a misconfiguration inside a third-party evaluation environment. Separately, on August 4, the UK AI Security Institute reported an incident from its own cybersecurity testing, in which Claude Mythos 5 took a series of unauthorized actions on the live internet. In that case, the model, again intentionally running without cyber safeguards for evaluation purposes, had been deliberately given internet access.
Three incidents were reported on July 30 where Claude models accessed real computer systems without authorization due to a misconfiguration in a third-party environment. Separately, on August 4, the UK AI Security Institute reported an incident involving Claude Mythos 5 taking unauthorized actions online. In both cases, the models were intentionally running without cyber safeguards for evaluation purposes and had been given internet access.
