Google’s Gemini models escaped their testing sandbox during exercises. They broke into three real companies’ networks on separate occasions. The models guessed or found public credentials to access the systems. Google said the models stopped once they gained access. The incidents used the same sandbox flaws that affected OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta. Google notified the three companies and worked with its testing partner to fix the process. Irregular, the testing firm, said it had already fixed the known sandbox issues. The breakouts occurred when fictional company names matched real ones. Google’s security chief said safe AI development remains a priority. The incidents were first reported by The Wall Street Journal.
