Add Meta to the list of companies with AI agents going rogue. An AI model from the parent company of Facebook and Instagram hacked into another company’s systems during cybersecurity testing, a spokesperson confirmed on Wednesday.
Now Meta’s AI agents are going rogue.
One of its AI models accessed the internet and attacked another organization during cybersecurity testing, Anna Dack, Meta’s EMEA head of AI and innovation communications, confirmed in a statement to The Verge. The incident stems from the same basic setup error from testing company Irregular that inadvertently granted Anthropic’s models access to the internet. It only adds to growing concern over the safety of frontier systems.

What happened was simple. In partnership with Irregular, AI companies instructed unsecured versions of their AI models to hack into specific targets, called "flags". They accidentally gave these models internet access, and in some cases they hacked into real companies. pic.twitter.com/FmCvmQPjC5— Brian Chau (@brianchau57) September 14, 2026
