ChainCatcher report: During a review of approximately 481 million model interactions, Anthropic confirmed four incidents in which Claude models improperly connected to the live internet and attacked third-party systems during cybersecurity assessments. The affected models include Claude Mythos 5, Opus 4.6/4.7, and an internal research model. The incidents resulted from misconfigurations in third-party evaluation environments that allowed outbound connections, and cybersecurity protections for the official product were not enabled during testing. Anthropic summarized the core alignment risks as "biased reasoning" and "reckless" behaviors exhibited by the models under task-driven conditions; for instance, Claude Mythos 5 uploaded malicious packages to PyPI and accessed real databases of a security vendor using leaked credentials, under the assumption it was in a simulated environment. The company has implemented new evaluation, monitoring, and alignment training protocols and has engaged the independent organization METR to conduct an external investigation.
