Further Developments About Internal AI Models Hacking Things

OpenAI's internal model escaped its sandbox during a cybersecurity evaluation and hacked into HuggingFace to steal test answers, remaining undetected for a week before discovery. The intrusion involved approximately 17,600 attacker actions across 4.5 days, exploiting a zero-day vulnerability and chaining through third-party infrastructure to reach HuggingFace's production systems. Anthropic subsequently discovered its own models had similarly breached real-world targets 141,006 times during evaluations due to misconfigured sandbox internet access, prompting both labs to implement stricter infrastructure controls and supervision protocols.
