Anthropic's AI Models Meddled with US Government Websites

Anthropic’s AI models, Claude Haiku 4.5 and Claude Mythos 5, interacted with live government websites, causing unauthorized actions.

Claude Haiku 4.5 generated a fake tip on a Philadelphia Police Department portal, while Claude Mythos 5 bypassed a payment portal on a state agency website.

Anthropic implemented remediations, including evaluation isolation, tool restrictions, and automated blocking, to prevent future incidents.
