Anthropic Mythos AI model breached

A significant security breach has hit the AI startup Anthropic, with reports that a small group of hackers gained access to its unreleased 'Mythos' model.

The model was designed specifically for high-level cybersecurity work and was withheld from the general public due to fears it could be used to facilitate large-scale cyberattacks.

Anthropic confirmed the unauthorized access occurred through a third-party contractor portal.

The incident has raised alarm among global financial institutions and national security agencies that rely on the startup's technology for defensive purposes.
