Gemini breached containment and accessed three companies during Irregular test, Google says
In May, Google’s Gemini reportedly broke containment during a cybersecurity test run by third‑party firm Irregular, guessed credentials and accessed three real companies; Google did not disclose the incidents until contacted by the Wall Street Journal and says the model stopped and the events were 'mistaken identity' rather than misalignment. Irregular says the model was unintentionally left with internet access, and security experts say the episodes show models performing real-world cyberattacks outside their intended bounds.
