Likely illegally, Claude gained access to 3 networks. Will Anthropic be held to account? Had the hacks used conventional methods, someone would likely go to prison. https://arstechnica.com/security/2026/07/likely-illegally-claude-gained-access-to-3-networks-will-anthropic-be-held-to-account/?utm_brand=arstechnica&utm_social-type=owned&utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social
