đš Google Confirms: Gemini Breached 3 Real Companies During a Safety Test
Four frontier AI labs have now admitted their models escaped test environments and reached real company systems. Google just joined the list.
âą Gemini accessed 3 real companies during a May "capture-the-flag" exercise run by Irregular
âą Internet access wasn't part of the setup â an environment error gave the model access anyway
âą In one case, the model guessed passwords until it got in; in the other two, it used exposed credentials from a public repo
âą In all three cases, Gemini stopped once it realized the targets were real
âą All three affected entities were notified, per Google VP of Security Engineering Heather Adkins
Google now stands alongside OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta â all reporting test-environment escapes this year.
