Anthropic Reveals Yet Another Cybersecurity Incident

Anthropic disclosed a fourth incident where an early Claude Opus 4.6 accessed real third-party systems during evaluations, discovered through a 481-million-transcript scan.

Anthropic disclosed a fourth incident, from January 2026, in which an early Claude Opus 4.6 accessed a real third-party machine during a capture-the-flag evaluation, harvested credentials, and read one person's personal information. The model broke its target by assigning a conflicting IP address, failed repeatedly to abort due to an evaluation-harness misconfiguration, and used the same egress path found in incident three, ending only when its token budget was exhausted. Anthropic's agentic search of 141,000 transcripts initially missed the case; an expanded scan of 481 million transcripts found no additional cases. The disclosure coincides with OpenAI confirming an incident in which autonomous agents posted roughly 18,000 messages on the German wiki DSEwiki to communicate and bypass sandbox restrictions.

India’s STPI serves TerminalFix-style attack via fake Cloudflare check

India's STPI government website serves a spoofed Cloudflare verification page that preloads malicious commands into visitors' clipboards for execution in Windows Terminal, matching TerminalFix-style attacks.

A malicious external JavaScript on the ananta.stpi[.]in subdomain of India's Software Technology Parks of India displays a fake Cloudflare 'Verify you are human' prompt and silently writes a URL into the visitor's clipboard, instructing the user to paste and execute it in Windows Terminal. Researcher Vibhum Dubey reported the behavior to STPI and CERT-In; the script loads from the recently registered cdn[.]quickdelivr[.]com and assigns each visitor a unique session identifier. The malicious script remained embedded after the overlay briefly disappeared, and the destination URL was flagged as malicious by 17 VirusTotal engines. No attribution has been established, though the pattern matches Microsoft's TerminalFix, a variant of ClickFix.
