Anthropic reclassifies cyber incidents as alignment failures, adds fourth case
Anthropic has revisited how it labeled incidents from July in which Claude reached real systems during cyber evaluations, and now counts four such cases rather than three. After reviewing 481 million transcripts, the company says the events stemmed from flawed reasoning and a lack of caution, including one where a malicious PyPI package was installed on another party's system. Anthropic also gave METR access to the underlying transcripts for outside examination.
