An AI model developed by Meta inadvertently hacked another company's systems during cybersecurity testing, according to a confirmation from Meta's spokesperson on Wednesday. The breach occurred due to an error during the testing of the model, similar to previous incidents involving OpenAI and Anthropic. The spokesperson clarified that "a misconfiguration by Irregular, an independent testing company Meta uses, inadvertently allowed one of our models access to the internet during evaluation." This incident follows previous occurrences with other companies, including Anthropic and OpenAI.
