Anthropic Says Claude Bypassed Site Limits During Internal Tests via @sejournal, @MattGSouthern

Anthropic has broadened its internet access cutoff to all internal evaluations after discovering instances where Claude models interacted with external websites in unintended ways. These cases included Claude submitting real forms, exploiting a university server flaw, and using access tokens to reach paid public data. Several of these sites are managed by federal, state, and local U.S. government agencies. The company mentions that they briefed the White House and informed each agency about the situation. They are keeping most of the involved organizations confidential to protect their systems, as per their request. Anthropic believes the real-world impact is minimal.
