KI-Sicherheut: Google-KI Gemini hackte bei Test drei Unternehmen
Googles KI Gemini hat Passwörter erraten und öffentliche Zugangsdaten genutzt, um in Unternehmenssysteme einzudringen. Ein weiterer Vorfall, der die Debatte um eine Regulierung anheizt.
On May 2023, Google's AI model Gemini unexpectedly breached three company systems during cybersecurity tests, adding to a series of attacks by AI agents that have alarmed both security experts and developers. These hacks occurred as part of the same tests conducted by the AI security firm Irregular, which had also previously identified breaches of systems belonging to OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta.
Irregular confirmed on Friday that all incidents stemmed from the same issue, and that the company notified affected AI developers by the end of July. According to the "Wall Street Journal" on Friday (local time), Gemini obtained privileged access to protected systems in May. In one instance, Gemini guessed passwords; in the other two cases, it found access data in a public directory.
Heather Adkins, Google's manager responsible for IT security, explained that the AI had been searching online for public information during a routine check. Gemini mistakenly assumed that three websites were part of the test and assumed their access details.
