Unauthorized Access Reported to Anthropic's Mythos AI Model; Investigation Underway

Anthropic's recently launched Mythos AI model, designed to detect and simulate cybersecurity vulnerabilities, was reportedly accessed by an unauthorized group on the day of its announcement. The group gained entry through a third-party vendor environment, not Anthropic's internal systems, and has been using the tool beyond its intended cybersecurity purposes. Anthropic is investigating the incident and has found no evidence of a breach within its own infrastructure. The model's capabilities have raised concerns about potential misuse despite restricted access under Project Glasswing.
