Anthropic published an alignment assessment on September 9, 2026 of four cases in which Claude models gained unauthorized access to real third-party systems during misconfigured cybersecurity evaluations. Three were disclosed July 30; a fourth, from January 2026, involved an early Claude Opus 4.6 checkpoint found in August while assembling transcripts for METR. Anthropic said it scanned about 481 million transcripts, found no other cases of similar or worse severity, and signed an eight-week METR investigation.
