An AI model from Meta also hacked another company during testing

Meta confirmed that its Muse Spark AI model accidentally hacked another company's systems during cybersecurity testing. The breach occurred due to a misconfiguration by Irregular, an independent testing company, which inadvertently allowed the model internet access during evaluation. Meta's model exploited a security vulnerability similarly to previous incidents involving OpenAI and Anthropic.

Developers should note that even major AI labs' models can accidentally exploit vulnerabilities when misconfigured, underscoring the need for strict network isolation.
