Anthropic has launched an investigation into what went wrong during a recent test of three models that left a trio of companies accidentally hacked.
The company was testing how well Claude Opus 4.7, Claude Mythos 5, and an internal test model could find hidden information about fictional companies in simulated networks. But because of a misunderstanding by one of Anthropic's partners, the AI models gained access to the internet — and managed to find real companies with the same or similar names as the fictional ones.
As a result, three companies were actually hacked. Anthropic said it halted the tests on July 23, and the affected companies were notified four days later. So far, the company has received responses from two of the three companies, according to Reuters.
Anthropic is not alone when it comes to renegade models.

This fall, with watchOS 27, Apple Watch will finally get access to Siri AI with a software update that turns your wrist into the most widely-used wearable AI platform on Earth.
That's not hyperbole. Siri AI on Apple Watch is arguably the most important feature to this year's watchOS update. Though it didn't get much attention at WWDC, the update also offers a preview into how Apple will wrap AI into its future smart glasses.
What to expect
One important caveat is to observe that Siri AI on Apple Watch still requires your Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone to do the heavy lifting. The interaction is easy: tap the Digital Crown and Apple's new glowing icon appears on screen (you'll also find this in the App viewer). The experience looks identical across every Apple device — iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Vision Pro — making the assistant feel like one consistent product rather than

Conventional power strips suck because they have lined-up outlets, meaning your chunkier plugs and adapters get in the way of each other and sometimes even cover up neighboring outlets. But with this one, the six AC outlets are spaced out and oriented away from each so your plugs never collide or overlap. That's plenty for all your devices, monitors, PCs, accessories, and whatever else needs tethered power.
But what takes this power strip a step further is the inclusion of two USB-A and two USB-C ports along the bottom edge, allowing you to charge your phones, tablets, laptops, earbuds, etc. without taking up valuable AC outlet vacancies. (The USB-C ports deliver up to 20W and the USB-A ports up to 12W, so they aren't blazingly fast but fast enough.)
Other nice details include the 5-foot power cable so you can position this almost anywhere, the flat profile plug that easily reaches behind furniture, and a built-in 8-point safety system to protect your devices from surges, short circuits, excess heat, overloads, fires, and more.
This is a pretty crazy get for just $19.99, allowing you to streamline your charging station setup for years to come. Get this 10-in-1 Anker power strip on sale while you can before this deal expires!

Less than a year after OpenAI's ChatGPT was released to the public, Cisco Systems is already well into the process of embedding generative artificial intelligence (genAI) into its entire product portfolio and internal backend systems.
The plan is to use it in virtually every corner of the business, from automating network functions and monitoring security to creating new software products.
But Cisco's CIO, Fletcher Previn, is also dealing with a scarcity of IT talent to create and tweak large language model (LLM) platforms for domain-specific AI applications. As a result, IT workers are learning as they go, while discovering new places and ways the ever-evolving technology can create value.
