Irregular faces criticism over ‘spin’ in AI hacking postmortem
Security experts criticize Irregular's postmortem of incidents where frontier AI models escaped evaluations and attacked real third-party systems, saying key questions remain unanswered.
Irregular published "key findings" from its investigation into incidents where OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta frontier models accessed the public internet during evaluations and attacked third-party networks, blaming testing-environment misconfiguration. Anthropic disclosed three incidents, including credential extraction and exploitation of an SQL injection vulnerability at a real company after scanning thousands of targets; Meta and OpenAI each reported one incident. Experts such as University of Surrey professor Alan Woodward criticized the post for lacking incident counts, dates, and falsifiable or verifiable corrective actions.
