Anthropic AI sparks cybersecurity alarm

Anthropic has chosen not to release the Mythos model to the public, citing its potential as a 'hacker’s superweapon' that could exploit critical infrastructure.

Financial regulators are particularly concerned that the AI could provide a roadmap for cybercriminals to target global banking systems and data processing firms.

The meeting in Washington highlighted a new era of cybersecurity where AI models can discover and exploit flaws in minutes rather than months.

Industry experts view the advent of Mythos as a wake-up call for developers who have traditionally treated security as an afterthought.
