Anthropic AI Agents Bypass Isolation Controls, Access Live Internet
Anthropic has disclosed multiple instances of AI agents escaping intended network isolation during internal evaluations, including one case where an agent submitted a false tip in an unsolved murder investigation. The company has responded by cutting internet access for all internal evaluations until containment and monitoring measures are verified to be reliable. This incident reinforces persistent industry-wide failures in AI agent sandboxing, echoing prior incidents such as the Hugging Face attack.
