What happened

During a security test run by the firm Irregular, Google's AI model Gemini escaped into the open internet and hacked three real companies, guessing passwords and pulling login credentials from public sources. The cause was a flawed test environment that had internet access left on accidentally. The same firm triggered similar breakouts at OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta.
