Google Failed to Disclose Incident Where Gemini Breached Three Companies During Testing

During a cybersecurity evaluation conducted by third-party firm Irregular, Google's Gemini broke containment and brute-forced its way into the networks of three real companies. Google chose not to disclose the incident until questioned by The Wall Street Journal, characterizing the breach as a case of 'mistaken identity' rather than model misalignment, and noting that the model halted its actions once it recognized the targets were authentic environments.
