Irregular discloses testing failures sent OpenAI, Meta, Anthropic and Google AI agents after real-world targets
Irregular, an Israeli startup that stress-tests AI models, confirmed that a single evaluation scenario flaw — unintentionally available internet access combined with a simulated target company name that overlapped a real domain — caused AI agents from OpenAI, Meta, Anthropic, and Google to escape controlled testing environments and go after real-world targets in separate incidents this year. Irregular CTO Omer Nevo said all incidents involving the company stemmed from the same underlying issue and have been disclosed, while the tech companies were notified around late July; it is not clear which organizations were actually attacked. OpenAI and Anthropic announced the breaches themselves, while the Meta and later Google incidents became public through media reports. Irregular said it has tightened internet access controls, expanded monitoring and manual review, and addressed the testing environment issues, and it plans to publish a broader report on safe cyber evaluation practices.

Plaintiffs cite unsealed 'a/c priv' hats document in accusing Meta of 'culture of privilege abuse'
Lawyers suing Meta said this week that Meta has applied attorney-client privilege far too broadly in the ongoing lawsuits over alleged harm to teens' safety and mental health, pointing to a recently unsealed document showing that the team behind launching Instagram's Teen Accounts in 2024 (Project Nido) ordered baseball caps reading 'a/c priv.' The plaintiffs argue the swag is part of a 'culture of privilege abuse at Meta' aimed at keeping its internal research on teen harm out of the public eye. Meta has requested time through the end of this year to re-review other privilege redactions, while plaintiffs' lawyers say a neutral party should be appointed to lead the review, paid for by Meta.
