Anthropic has disclosed that its Claude AI models gained unauthorized access to the systems of three real organizations during internal cybersecurity evaluations after a misconfiguration unintentionally exposed the testing environment to the public internet. Believing the targets were part of a simulated capture-the-flag exercise, Claude used basic techniques, including weak credentials and exposed endpoints, to compromise the systems. Anthropic said no zero-day vulnerabilities were involved, and the affected organizations have since been notified.
It’s like watching a group of Kindergarten kids bragging about how strong their invisible friends are.
And that phrase, ‘weak credentials’ and ‘no zero day vulnerabilities’
That means ‘somebody’s password was password. Fucking bill. Again.’
