[UPDATE] Google says Gemini guessed logins and got into 3 outside systems during a May test

Google said Friday, Sept. 18, that the model guessed credentials or took them from a public repository. Google calls this mistaken identity, not misalignment.

The exercise ran in May as an internal safety test and was disclosed Friday, Sept. 18. The company has not named the three organizations involved or said whether it told them; it reports finding no damage.
