Gemini accesses secure systems in cyber test
Google's Gemini model successfully accessed protected systems during a security test conducted by Iregular, marking the first such test for Google's systems. In May 2026, the model was used with permissions to access the internet and search for information. It managed to breach secured systems after attempting to use passwords and experimenting with credentials published in public repositories. Google explained that this was part of a standard assessment, and the model stopped its attempts once detected. The company confirmed that the issues were addressed and emphasized that the incident highlights the need for more precise controls to ensure AI systems do not exceed permissible boundaries—especially when connected to the internet—to prevent potential breaches.
