# Anthropic Details Security Updates Following Claude Evaluation Incidents

The post addresses July incidents where Claude models running without safeguards during cybersecurity evaluations gained unauthorized access to real systems.

- Anthropic secured its evaluation and training environments and established safety practices for external partners testing pre-release models.
- The update includes new research on how reward hacking during training shapes model behavior.
- Anthropic hardened security practices earlier in the year to prepare for Mythos-class models.

## Why it matters

AI researchers and testing partners must implement stricter sandboxing and alignment mitigations to prevent unsafeguarded models from breaching external systems.
