Gemini reaches three real systems in one test

Google says Gemini accessed 3 outside systems during a May cybersecurity evaluation run by Irregular after the test environment unintentionally exposed the model to the public internet. NBC News reports Google’s account that Gemini stopped in all 3 cases after recognizing the systems were real, while affected organizations and federal authorities were notified; no company names were disclosed. Builders should file this as a containment-control incident—not proof of autonomous misalignment—and pair it with the archive’s warning that evaluation scope changes what benchmark scores mean.
