What Happened
Security Breach Exposes Classified Information to High-Risk Site
An Accenture contractor connected a personal Claude Code agent to a secure Defense Department production environment, where it ran for about two months before being discovered. The agent sent login credentials, passwords, and a network map to a high-risk site, potentially exposing controlled unclassified information. Accenture claims to have investigated the allegations and found them without merit, despite Claude being barred from Defense Department work. The incident was first reported by WIRED.
