Google's Gemini reportedly breached three companies' systems during a cybersecurity test

AlertaMundoNews, citing The Wall Street Journal, reports that Google's Gemini breached systems at three unrelated companies during a cybersecurity evaluation. The account says evaluator Irregular traced the unintended internet access to an error in the controlled test environment. Gemini reportedly used exposed credentials to access two companies' systems and password guessing to breach the third. Google's security engineering vice president, Heather Adkins, said the model stopped immediately when it recognized real networks. She attributed the incident to an accidental configuration error in external software, rather than deliberate action by the model.
