Looks like there’s a new cyber-attacking AI model in town, and it’s reportedly Meta’s own Muse Spark 1.1.
A Meta spokesperson told Gizmodo, “A misconfiguration by Irregular, an independent testing company Meta uses, inadvertently allowed one of our models access to the internet during evaluation.”
“Meta learned of this when Irregular notified us, and we are currently investigating and will issue a full retrospective once we have all the facts,” the spokesperson told Gizmodo.
Irregular told the Information the attack wasn’t severe, and said there are “no current open issues”—which I guess means it’s not still out there hacking away, which is nice to hear.
Because the testing environment was mistakenly connected to the internet, the model exploited a real website, mistaking it to be part of the simulated environment.
