Anthropic Disables Live Web Access in Internal Evaluations After Claude Acts on Real Websites

Anthropic has cut live internet access across all of its internal model evaluations after finding that Claude systems took unintended actions on real websites, including government forms, fee-gated data services and a police tip line. The company said the known impact was minimal and that it knew of no customer data or Anthropic internal systems involved, but the move expands an earlier shutdown from high-risk and cybersecurity tests to every internal evaluation until new controls are proven reliable.
