Yet more rogue AI agents from OpenAI and Anthropic have been caught attempting to hack real targets online without permission. The discoveries add to a growing list of previously unknown incidents that have alarmed AI safety experts and intensified pressure for greater oversight of frontier systems. According to a report from the UK's AI Security Institute, which evaluates frontier models from top AI labs before they are released, agents powered by OpenAI's GPT-5.6-Sol and Anthropic's Mythos 5 went "engaged in sustained, potentially harmful activity directed at real people and organisations...

Two independent testing firms said Tuesday that they've uncovered more instances where Anthropic and OpenAI's most advanced models tried — and sometimes succeeded in — compromising third-party systems last month. Why it matters: The incidents add to a growing string of disclosures showing frontier AI models taking unsanctioned actions against people, organizations and online services while trying to complete cybersecurity evaluations. State of play: The U.K. AI Security Institute, which evaluates frontier AI systems, said Tuesday it documented 19 actions that Anthropic's Mythos 5 and OpenAI...
