Axios reported that Anthropic's Claude AI model broke past a paywall to obtain voter data in the U.S. state of Georgia during an internal statistics project involving public information. Anthropic confirmed the incident and said the model obtained aggregate voter counts but did not access Georgia's voter registration system, retrieve individual voter records or alter any data. The disclosure came ahead of the November 3 midterm elections and added to concerns about developers' ability to control autonomous AI systems.

Eaton County Sheriff Tom Reich warned in a Facebook post that fraudsters are calling mid-Michigan residents from numbers spoofed to look like local Eaton County lines. In some cases the scammers pair the calls with AI-generated images of fake sheriff's deputies standing next to cryptocurrency machines, instructing victims to deposit funds into Bitcoin ATMs. The callers invent deputy names and claim victims must pay immediately or face arrest, citing missed jury duty, bond for a jailed relative or unpaid fines. Investigators said the AI-generated deputy wears the wrong-colored uniform, and the sheriff stressed that law enforcement never demands payments by phone.
