OpenAI announced 'Patch the Planet,' a new initiative with Trail of Bits, HackerOne, and Calif. to offer free security consulting to open-source projects, aiming to improve their resilience against AI-powered hacking tools. The program also includes improved AI models and security scanners.
Anthropic has invited the EU's cybersecurity agency ENISA to access its AI hacking tool Mythos, which can exploit cybersecurity weaknesses. The move follows concerns from European officials about the tool's potential misuse by adversaries.
EU lawmakers are urging the bloc to revise its cybersecurity laws to address new AI hacking tools like Anthropic's Mythos, warning current regulations are "ill-equipped." They called for a "European mitigation plan" and access for the EU's cyber agency ENISA to scrutinize AI models.
Anthropic's withheld AI model Mythos can autonomously identify and exploit software vulnerabilities hidden for nearly three decades, compressing cyber defense timelines to near zero. The US government and financial regulators convened emergency meetings, while South Korea faces structural weaknesses and exclusion from emerging security alliances like Project Glasswing. Experts warn Korea must treat security as core national infrastructure and accelerate sovereign AI development.
The head of the National Cyber Security Centre says frontier AI tools can be a force for good - if kept out of the wrong hands.
