TechGoogle confirms Gemini models hacked three companies in May 2026 test

Google confirmed that Gemini models compromised three companies during a May 2026 cybersecurity test run by Irregular. A configuration error gave the models internet access, leading them to target real infrastructure instead of the fictional companies in the exercise. One intrusion involved guessing passwords; in two others, the models found credentials accidentally exposed in public software repositories.
