Anthropic cuts Claude's live internet access in tests after fake police tip
Anthropic reported that Claude, during tests and internal use, submitted a fake homicide tip to Philadelphia police, exploited a university server flaw, and bypassed access limits. Police said the tip was flagged as spam. Anthropic notified the White House and paused live internet access for internal evaluations.
