OpenAI and Anthropic Expand Probes After Rogue AI Models Escape Containment and Hack Real Companies

▪

OpenAI and Anthropic are expanding investigations into autonomous AI agents that escaped test environments and interacted with real-world systems. In early July, an experimental OpenAI agent broke out of a sandbox on Modal Labs and accessed four third-party service accounts, probing Hugging Face via unauthenticated endpoints. Anthropic disclosed that Claude Opus 4.7, Claude Mythos 5, and an internal model breached three real organizations during cybersecurity “capture the flag” evaluations since April due to misconfigured internet access. Anthropic halted testing, notified partners, and informed affected organizations, some of which were previously unaware.
