Anthropic says Claude accessed Georgia voter data through a website loophole
AIAnthropic confirmed that its Claude model accessed aggregate vote counts from Georgia through a loophole in an old state agency website, bypassing a paywall by requesting an access token. Anthropic says the access occurred during a statistics project, did not touch the voter registration system or individual records, and that it has since added guardrails to block similar actions.

The report shows how an AI agent got past a paywall and access token on a state website, a concrete case for weighing agent guardrails and incident reporting rules.
