What happened
Symantec has found a service that installs genuine AI coding tools from OpenAI and Anthropic, then changes their settings to switch off a safety feature called sandboxing. This has affected 12 organisations since early 2026, mostly in mainland China. These tools can read files, write code and run commands, so removing their protections is risky.
