Anthropic has launched an investigation into what went wrong during a recent test of three models that left a trio of companies accidentally hacked.
The company was testing how well Claude Opus 4.7, Claude Mythos 5, and an internal test model could find hidden information about fictional companies in simulated networks. But because of a misunderstanding by one of Anthropic's partners, the AI models gained access to the internet — and managed to find real companies with the same or similar names as the fictional ones.
As a result, three companies were actually hacked. Anthropic said it halted the tests on July 23, and the affected companies were notified four days later. So far, the company has received responses from two of the three companies, according to Reuters.

The same applies to any file you're finessing within Google Drive or other cloud storage services or document you're dawdling over in Docs.
One area where seamless syncing somehow still doesn't occur, though, is in the domain of downloaded documents on Android. If someone sends you a PDF or a Word file and you save it to your phone, that file exists in an archaic-seeming silo — only locally, on that one gadget. And that, of course, means (a) you can't access it from any other device, and (b) if you misplace your phone or move into a new one at some point along the way, the file will be left behind in time and entirely unavailable.
Well, take a moment to join me in celebration: Amidst all the Gemini gobbledegook that no one asked for (and that often falls somewhere between "pointless" and
