Section 2 — Other countries
- United States — disputed report of personal coding-agent access to a Pentagon system (29 Oct; secondary investigative reporting): WIRED (Vittoria Elliott) reports that an Accenture contractor gave a personal Claude Code agent administrative access to a Defense Department environment holding controlled unclassified information, and that sources allege credentials and network details reached an outside website. Accenture says an independent investigation found the allegations without merit; the Pentagon declined comment. These are disputed claims, not established findings, and no new rule results. Governance relevance: delegated credentials, agent permissions, attribution and contractor accountability (source: 2026-10-30-ai-agent-identity-news.md, citing WIRED).
