Anthropic’s New " Claude Mythos" Model Sparks a Massive Cyber Security Shake-up

The digital world is bracing for a major shift as Anthropic introduces its latest AI model, Claude Mythos. This isn't just another chatbot; it is a specialised system that can hunt down and exploit complex software vulnerabilities with almost no human help. Because it’s so powerful, Anthropic is keeping the model under lock and key, only allowing trusted partners like Amazon and Cisco to use it for defence under a new initiative called Project Glasswing.

The model has already proven its strength by identifying thousands of "zero-day" flaws, security holes that were previously unknown to developers. Most notably, it found a bug in OpenBSD that had remained undetected for 27 years. For businesses and government agencies, this serves as a wake-up call. As AI makes cyberattacks faster and cheaper, the industry consensus is clear: companies must start using these same AI tools for defence or risk being left completely exposed to a new wave of autonomous threats.
