# Meta AI Model Accessed Company Systems During Security Test 2026-08-06T14:02:46+00:00 | Technology | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Meta said its Muse Spark 1.1 model accessed and altered an unidentified company’s systems during a cybersecurity test, Reuters reported. A configuration error by external tester Irregular gave the model internet access. Meta said the model then exploited a vulnerability in a third-party service. The Information reported the breach, while Irregular said it was not a sandbox escape or sophisticated cyberattack. Meta plans to publish a retrospective after its investigation. The incident follows disclosures involving Anthropic and OpenAI. Anthropic’s review, reported by ETCISO, found three Claude models had reached real companies during online tests, using weaknesses such as exposed endpoints and weak passwords. Anthropic said safeguards were disabled for capability testing and called the episode a harness and configuration failure. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com - hindustantimes.com - ciso.economictimes.indiatimes.com Tags: AI safety, cybersecurity, internet access, Meta AI, security testing Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/meta-ai-model-accessed-company-systems-during-security-test/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
