Anthropic's Mythos sparks cyber fears

The Mythos model has reportedly found security flaws in every major operating system and browser, leading to emergency meetings within the banking sector.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is scheduled to meet with White House officials to discuss safeguards and the model's potential role in national defense.

Experts warn that the tool could create an unprecedented asymmetry between cyber attackers and defenders if misused.

Despite these concerns, British and Indian fintech firms are also pushing for access to the model to bolster their own security infrastructures.
