Cybersecurity startup Cathedral used autonomous AI agents to breach Anthropic's internal systems through third-party software as part of a bug bounty program. Anthropic confirmed unauthorized access to internal sales, HR, and IT data, though it disputes the reported depth of the intrusion.

The exercise demonstrates the practical viability of using AI agents for offensive cybersecurity operations against major AI developers.
