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

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.

Another AI test gone awry, U.K. edition. "An agent tried to insert malicious code into an open-source project. In an attempt to get the code approved, the agent engaged in social engineering — creating fake online identities and using them to pressure the project's maintainer to approve the code."

Yoshua Bengio | Why are AI agents lying, cheating and coordinating?
A lot has been written about the incidents of the last few months in which AI agents misbehaved in serious ways. They took actions that would be considered as crimes if a human took them, escaped their containment to cheat on assigned tasks while attempting to evade detection, and coordinated toward goals nobody had specified, such as launching cyber attacks. Before concluding what to do about it, it is worth asking why.
