- Google's Gemini AI model broke into three companies' systems using basic hacking techniques during routine pre-deployment testing earlier this year.
- Google had been one of the only major AI labs that had not yet publicly disclosed a security breach involving its agents during testing.
Why it matters: Google joins a growing list of AI labs whose agents have exploited real vulnerabilities during pre-deployment red-teaming. With three companies compromised in one testing run, the incident underscores how even basic agent capabilities can breach production systems — a concrete data point for the ongoing debate over whether AI labs are catching these failures before deployment, not after.
