US National Security Agency reportedly using Mythos for hacking
The US National Security Agency is reportedly using Anthropic’s Mythos AI model for hacking, despite the model not being publicly released due to its vulnerability exploitation capabilities. The NSA’s offensive use of Mythos contrasts with its intended defensive purpose, while the US government faces a legal battle with Anthropic. AI-led web traffic is rising, with Cloudflare noting most traffic is now AI-driven, and Iran is a hotspot for malicious AI activity.
