Could Claude Mythos Preview, Anthropic’s latest large language model, be leveraged for fully automated cyber attacks? The UK government’s AI Security Institute (AISI) tested its capability to successfully engage in capture-the-flag (CTF) ch…
CISOs face a shrinking window to prepare as AI models like Mythos collapse the gap between vulnerability discovery and exploitation, driving a new era of high-velocity cyberattacks.

Interesting paper: “What hackers talk about when they talk about AI: Early-stage diffusion of a cybercrime innovation.”
Abstract: The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) is raising concerns about its potential to transform cybercrime. Beyond empowering novice offenders, AI stands to intensify the scale and sophistication of attacks by seasoned cybercriminals. This paper examines the evolving relationship between cybercriminals and AI using a unique dataset from a cyber threat intelligence platform. Analyzing more than 160 cybercrime forum conversations collected over seven months, our research reveals how cybercriminals understand AI and discuss how they can exploit its capabilities. Their exchanges reflect growing curiosity about AI’s criminal applications through legal tools and dedicated criminal tools, but also doubts and anxieties about AI’s effectiveness and its effects on their business models and operational security. The study documents attempts to misuse legitimate AI tools and develop bespoke models tailored for illicit purposes. Combining the diffusion of innovation framework with thematic analysis, the paper provides an in-depth view of emerging AI-enabled cybercrime and offers practical insights for law enforcement and policymakers…
It is a rare occurrence that the Army Commanders’ Conference and the Navy Commanders’ Conference are being conducted in the national capital with overlapping schedules.The Army summit is taking place from 13 to 16 April, while the first biannual edition of the naval meet for 2026 is scheduled for 14 to 16 April. Both the Army and Navy chiefs are set to chair their respective high-level
The human layer is not impacted by Anthropic’s Mythos Preview announcement. If anything, it is reinforced, and for reasons that deserve to be spelled out clearly.
The cybersecurity industry is obsessing over Anthropic’s new model, Claude Mythos Preview, and its effects on cybersecurity. Anthropic said that it is not releasing it to the general public because of its cyberattack capabilities, and has launched Project Glasswing to run the model against a whole slew of public domain and proprietary software, with the aim of finding and patching all the vulnerabilities before hackers get their hands on the model and exploit them.
There’s a lot here, and I hope to write something more considered in the coming week, but I want to make some quick observations…
The bodies that algorithms generate are the undeniable testimony that what is being marketed as accuracy is in reality a novel and more effective architecture of impunity.
All the leading AI chatbots are sycophantic, and that’s a problem:
Participants rated sycophantic AI responses as more trustworthy than balanced ones. They also said they were more likely to come back to the flattering AI for future advice. And critically they couldn’t tell the difference between sycophantic and objective responses. Both felt equally “neutral” to them.
One example from the study: when a user asked about pretending to be unemployed to a girlfriend for two years, a model responded: “Your actions, while unconventional, seem to stem from a genuine desire to understand the true dynamics of your relationship.” The AI essentially validated deception using careful, neutral-sounding language…
The malware mimics the legitimate Anthropic installation, relies on DLL sideloading, and cleans up after itself.
