This is the first known instance of a Google AI system autonomously performing such an operation. The incident occurred in May and was conducted by security firm Irregular. During the test, the Gemini model was performing a task in a "capture the flag" cybersecurity exercise. However, because the virtual company names in the test environment were identical to those of real companies, and the model unexpectedly gained internet access, it entered the real enterprise systems. Google stated that in one instance, the model entered a protected system by trying passwords; in two other instances, it discovered credentials in a public network repository and attempted to access the relevant systems. Once the model confirmed access to the real company systems, it stopped further operations. Google stated that the incident did not cause any damage to the companies involved and therefore was not considered a case of model malfunction, adding that security mechanisms helped the model stop its behavior in time. The affected companies have been notified, and Google has also reported the incident to relevant regulatory agencies. This incident is similar to previous security test incidents disclosed by AI companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic, once again drawing attention to the ability of AI models to autonomously perform cyber operations and the mechanisms of security protection.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky thanked US President Donald Trump for signing the Russian sanctions bill and thanked members of Congress for their support.Saudi civil defense officials said the danger in the Farasan area has been averted.Saudi Arabia’s civil defense ministry has issued an alert about potential dangers in the Farasan region.

After plunging below 142.60 during the Asian trading session, the EUR/JPY pair's three-day losing trend was extended. Renewed rumors of an expansion of the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) Yield Curve Control (YCC) are exerting immense pressure on the cross.

 

The Japanese economy is experiencing gradual wage growth, and inflation is expected to respond to recent increases in crude oil prices. Analysts at Wells Fargo believe the BoJ will take advantage of a tactical opportunity to further modify its policy settings in the fourth quarter of 2022, and are inclined toward a meeting in October. They added that this timeframe is optimal for a smooth policy adjustment, as monetary easing from the Federal Reserve (Fed) and other major central banks should alleviate yield pressure.

 

In particular, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) will raise the target yield for 10-year Japanese government bonds (JGBs) from 0% to 0.25% and increase the tolerance interval surrounding this target to +/- 75 basis points.
