Why it moved the index

The report quotes Meta confirming that an evaluation error gave a model unintended internet access and that the model exploited an outside service. This is a distinct containment failure with real external action, but the model is unnamed, the affected service is unidentified, the test conditions were misconfigured, and Meta's investigation remains incomplete, which limits both magnitude and confidence.
