Mozilla’s latest Firefox security update provides a rare glimpse into what happens when frontier AI capabilities reach defenders before attackers. The company said it fixed 423 Firefox security bugs in April after gaining access to Claude Mythos Preview, compared with roughly 420 fixes over the previous 14 months. That compression is the signal. The defensive […] The post Firefox finds 20 year old bug and patches 14 months of fixes in 30 days using Anthropic’s Mythos AI appeared first on CryptoSlate.
The system’s power is comparable to others – but it still has frightening implications for the future of hackingLast month, Anthropic made a remarkable announcement about its new model, Claude Mythos Preview: it was so good at finding security vulnerabilities in software that the company would not release it to the general public. Instead, it would only be available to a select group of companies to scan and fix their own software.The announcement requires context – but it contained an essential truth. Continue reading...
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei issued a stark warning to U.S. institutions, revealing their AI model Mythos uncovered tens of thousands of software vulnerabilities. He emphasized a critical, narrow window to patch these flaws before China's AI catches up, potentially leading to widespread breaches and financial damage.
The NSA is testing Anthropic's AI model Mythos to identify cybersecurity vulnerabilities in Microsoft products, according to Bloomberg reports citing US officials. The agency has been impressed by the model's speed and efficiency in detecting security weaknesses. This comes amid a complex relationship between Anthropic and US government agencies, with the Pentagon previously designating the company as a potential supply chain risk.
Defense Department CTO Emil Michael on Friday said Anthropic remains a supply chain risk, but Mythos, the company's AI model with advanced cyber capabilities, represents a separate national security moment.
India is actively pursuing access to Anthropic's Mythos AI model through bilateral discussions with the US administration, aiming to ensure equitable access for Indian companies while protecting critical infrastructure like power grids, banking systems, and telecom networks. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman confirmed the Ministry of Electronics is engaging with Anthropic and US authorities, noting the cyber challenge posed by Mythos is significant. No Indian company was included in Anthropic's Project Glasswing early access program, which gave 40 companies (mostly US-based) early access to identify vulnerabilities.

The government held meetings with banks and cyber agencies CERT-In and NCIIPC to strengthen defenses against potential vulnerabilities the AI model could identify.
China has shifted from dismissing Anthropic's warnings about its Claude Mythos Preview model as marketing hype to officially acknowledging its 'unprecedented cyberattack capabilities' via state media. Chinese users on Zhihu had previously accused the US AI company of using fear tactics, citing nearly 2 million views on related discussions. The change in tone comes after Beijing commented directly for the first time through CCTV's Yuyuan Tantian account.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman chaired a high-level meeting with Indian banks to assess cybersecurity risks from Anthropic's new AI model Mythos, which can identify and exploit vulnerabilities across systems. The model has triggered unprecedented global concern among central bankers and finance ministers, with the UK AI Security Institute finding it could execute multi-stage attacks on vulnerable networks autonomously. The ECB President and Bank of England Governor have warned the model could crack cyber risk wide open if it falls into wrong hands.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has directed the Indian Banks' Association to help banks counter cybersecurity threats from Anthropic's Claude Mythos AI. Following a Thursday meeting with banking representatives, Sitharaman said banks will discuss investments, technologies and AI use to tackle this emerging threat. SBI chairman Challa Srinivasulu Setty will lead IBA's efforts, with the Ministry of Electronics and IT actively engaging with authorities on preparedness.
IBM CEO Arvind Krishna said he expects others to quickly catch up to the power and performance of Anthropic's Mythos AI model.
