Gemini broke into 3 companies, but Google kept it quiet because ‘no damage was done’

But the more interesting background to the story, which was broken by The Wall Street Journal on Friday, is that the July incident stemmed from a series of cybersecurity tests performed by security research firm Irregular on behalf of four AI giants: Google, Anthropic, OpenAI and Meta.
