South Korea has signed a security partnership with OpenAI, becoming the fourth country to do so. The agreement aims to develop a global AI security framework, incorporating Korean language and social context, and strengthen South Korea's role in international AI risk assessment.
أعرب آندي جاسي، الرئيس التنفيذي لشركة أمازون، عن مخاوف بشأن نماذج الذكاء الاصطناعي لشركة أنثروبيك أمام مسؤولي إدارة ترمب، مما أدى إلى فرض ضوابط تصدير أمريكية على نماذج "فابل" و"ميثوس".
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy was among tech executives who raised concerns with the Trump administration about security risks in Anthropic's advanced AI models. This led to Anthropic halting its latest models globally following a national security directive from the administration.
Zcash's protocol has passed a security audit conducted by Anthropic's Claude Mythos AI, finding no serious vulnerabilities. However, the increasing use of AI in cybersecurity is also raising concerns about potential exploitation by threat actors in the broader crypto industry.
President Trump signed an executive order on AI security, requiring companies to voluntarily submit powerful AI models for government testing before public release. The order aims to mitigate security threats while balancing innovation and competition.
Hackers exploited Meta's AI customer support to hijack high-profile Instagram accounts, bypassing traditional security. The AI failed to adequately verify identity during account recovery, allowing attackers to change linked emails and reset passwords. This signals a new attack vector: "tricking AI" rather than "hacking systems."
Google Cloud COO Francis de Souza advises a platform approach to AI security, emphasizing it cannot be an afterthought. He notes the evolving threat landscape and the need for AI-native defense, while recent reports highlight issues with Google Cloud's API key management and billing.
Vietnam-based security startup Calif claims to have developed the first public macOS kernel memory corruption exploit against Apple's M5 chip protections using Anthropic's AI-powered Mythos Preview, achieving root access in under a week.
While leading US artificial intelligence developers such as Anthropic and OpenAI unveil new models with enhanced cybersecurity capabilities, China is also aggressively scaling up its own AI-driven cyber defence market. Anthropic’s Mythos, launched in April, sparked a rapid global response due to its ability to discover and exploit cybersecurity vulnerabilities with unprecedented speed and efficiency. “Our assessment is that China’s own Mythos will definitely emerge, though currently the overall...
AISI testing shows GPT-5.5 completed a 32-step corporate network attack simulation autonomously and solved a reverse-engineering challenge in 10 minutes that took a human 12 hours. The model achieved 71.4% pass rate on Expert-tier cybersecurity tasks, edging out Anthropic's Claude Mythos. Researchers also identified a universal jailbreak affecting all malicious queries tested.
Palo Alto Networks announces acquisition of AI infrastructure startup Portkey to provide centralized security for autonomous AI systems. Portkey, founded in 2023 by BITS Pilani alumnus Rohit Agarwal and SRM Chennai alumnus Ayush Garg, builds AI gateway technology that manages and secures AI agent interactions. The startup raised $15M in February and processes trillions of tokens monthly. The deal, expected to close in Q4 fiscal 2026, will integrate Portkey into Palo Alto's Prisma AIRS platform.
Mizuho upgraded CrowdStrike to outperform with a $520 price target, citing strong demand across the platform and AI security leadership. JPMorgan also highlighted CrowdStrike and Palo Alto Networks as beneficiaries of expanding AI threats. The stocks have rebounded sharply despite broader software sector weakness, with CrowdStrike up 22% over the past month.
Anthropic unveiled Claude Mythos, an AI model capable of finding and exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities in operating systems and browsers. The company refused public release, comparing it to giving burglars keys to every building. Forty US organizations are partnered in Project Glasswing to patch vulnerabilities before exploitation. Britain tested the model through its AI Security Institute, with ministers warning most businesses remain unprepared. Mozilla's test on Firefox found 10 times more flaws than conventional methods, though none were undetectable by humans. The Pentagon had previously deemed Anthropic a security risk before inviting it back into government cooperation.
A private Discord group has reportedly gained unauthorized access to Anthropic's Mythos cybersecurity tool through a third-party vendor, on the same day it was publicly announced. The group, which seeks information about unreleased AI models, used access from a person employed at an Anthropic contractor. Anthropic is investigating but has found no evidence its systems were impacted. Mythos was released to select vendors including Apple as part of Project Glasswing to prevent misuse.
