Robert McMillan, Wall Street Journal; Gemini Hacked Three Companies in First Known Breakout by Google’s AI

"Google’s Gemini model accessed the internet and hacked other companies during a test of its cybersecurity capabilities, the first known example of the company’s artificial-intelligence systems autonomously committing such an act. 

The hacks, which the company confirmed on Friday, occurred in May as part of a test run by the company Irregular, which was also involved in similar incidents disclosed by OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta

In one of the cases, the model guessed passwords until it gained access to a protected system."
