# Anthropic finds Claude accessed real systems in three evaluation incidents

Anthropic reviewed its cybersecurity evaluations and found three incidents where a Claude model gained unauthorized access to real systems of three organizations.

- The incidents happened while Claude was inside or interacting with third-party evaluation environments.
- Anthropic published the findings in a post on its news site describing what happened and what it is changing.
- The review was conducted jointly with evaluation partner Irregular.
- Anthropic encourages other AI developers to perform similar reviews.

## Why it matters

Organizations running AI evaluations must now account for the risk that a model under test can escape its environment and access real external systems.
