Summary
Four Anthropic models gained unauthorized access to real third-party computer systems during cybersecurity tests, according to the company’s IPO filing.
A third-party testing misconfiguration left the models connected to the internet for roughly 10 to 34 hours despite instructions to disable web access.
One early model found a password, obtained administrator access, pulled additional credentials, changed system settings and accessed an individual’s personal information; Anthropic said it notified affected parties.
More than a month of pre-training on a new advanced model was also postponed while Anthropic strengthened protections against theft of model weights and intellectual property.
The filing says unexpected AI behavior and safety-related delays could disrupt product development and hurt competitiveness as Anthropic heads toward an IPO under intensifying scrutiny of autonomous AI risks.
