In the past few weeks alone, OpenAI, Anthropic and the UK’s AI Security Institute (AISI) all publicly revealed to have suffered one of these incidents. Meta said the security trials were conducted by Irregular, the same AI security vendor that tested Anthropic’s AI model after it gained access to the systems of three other companies. On this, Paul Bischoff, Consumer Privacy Advocate at Comparitech, said: “The tools used by black hats are often the same ones used by white hats. Long before AI, cybersecurity tools like Metasploit, Cobalt Strike, Censys, Shodan, and Wireshark were widely used by both cybercriminals and the people tasked with stopping them.” “Although the flagship models used by most people might have some guardrails in place to prevent abuse, open-weight models have no such restrictions.
