Irregular, firm behind AI hacking incidents, won't say if there were more

The Record · · International · Enforcement

Irregular, the company linked to reported AI hacking incidents involving models from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Meta, has declined to say whether additional incidents occurred beyond those already known, citing an ongoing investigation.

Why this matters: When a company probes security incidents involving some of the most widely used AI systems in the world, 'we can't go into further details' is not a reassuring answer. The people and organizations using those AI models have a real interest in knowing whether something went wrong, how far it reached, and what was exposed. Opacity after a security incident protects the company. It does not protect anyone else. The accountability question here is simple: who decides what gets disclosed, and when?
