A new report claims that an unauthorized group gained access to Anthropic’s highly restricted Mythos AI cyber tool, which is designed to identify and exploit software vulnerabilities. The model is normally limited to a small set of trusted partners due to its powerful capabilities.
The incident highlights risks around controlling access to advanced AI systems, especially those capable of discovering zero-day vulnerabilities at scale. Experts warn that even limited leaks or unauthorized use could accelerate cyberattacks.
The situation adds pressure on AI companies to strengthen safeguards, access controls, and monitoring as these tools become more capable and widely deployed.
