Accenture worker allegedly ran a Claude agent inside a Pentagon system for two months
The unauthorized AI agent went undiscovered for about two months.
An Accenture employee allegedly ran an unauthorized Claude AI agent inside a secure Pentagon system for two months before anyone found it, Polymarket posted, citing a WIRED report.
WIRED reported that the contractor connected a personal Claude Code agent to NIPRNet, the Defense Department's unclassified network.
The case raises questions about how AI agents brought in by staff are spotted on secure government networks.
