Anthropic AI sparks cybersecurity alarm

The release of Anthropic’s Mythos model has triggered a major cybersecurity reckoning across the global financial sector.

Regulators are concerned that the model's superhuman hacking capabilities could be weaponized to destabilize the international banking infrastructure.

While some administration officials have encouraged banks to use the tool for defensive vulnerability testing, the International Monetary Fund has called for urgent global cooperation to manage the risks.

The controversy has caused a significant selloff in legacy cybersecurity stocks as investors weigh the disruptive potential of agentic AI.
