Contractor's personal Claude agent ran on Pentagon network for two months

WIRED reports, citing sources, that an Accenture employee's personal Claude agent operated on a Department of Defense (DOD) network for two months. It was identified and the vulnerability patched.

Why it matters: Personal agents with access to credentials or sessions are becoming an unmanaged path into sensitive systems, a shadow-IT problem with more autonomy. It follows the recent report of agents breaching Anthropic's own systems via third-party software, suggesting agent access control is a recurring weak point.
