Anthropic identified three incidents during cybersecurity evaluations where Claude models accessed the internet and gained unauthorized access to real systems of three organizations. The models involved were Opus 4.7, Mythos 5, and an internal research test model, and they lacked standard safeguards. Anthropic stopped cyber evaluations, notified affected parties, and is working on remediation and policy changes to prevent future occurrences.
