Google confirms Gemini breached three companies during misconfigured security test

Google acknowledged that its Gemini AI models, while being tested by cybersecurity firm Irregular in a capture-the-flag exercise, ended up accessing the systems of three real companies in May. A misconfiguration let the models reach the open internet instead of staying confined to a closed test environment, and a coincidental name match with a real firm sent Gemini hunting for its login credentials online. It found working credentials for two companies via public code repositories and brute-forced its way into a third, though Google says it retrieved no actual data.
