Google confirms Gemini hacked three real companies during a test

During a security test run by the firm Irregular in May, Gemini reached the open internet and broke into three real companies. In one case it guessed a password until it got in. In the other two it used credentials it found in a public repository. Google says the model stopped once it realised the targets were real, and that all three were told.
