"Mythos has identified coding weak spots in every operating system and web browser, with some vulnerabilities lying dormant for decades, including a flaw in OpenBSD hidden for 28 years."
"To prevent a feeding frenzy from hackers, Anthropic has provided 40 major tech companies, including Apple, Google, and Amazon, with early access to Mythos to identify and fix unknown backdoors."
"Patches can fix vulnerabilities, but they can also be reverse engineered by hackers, who will exploit weaknesses in unpatched systems, especially as users often delay updates."
"The discovery of new vulnerabilities comes at a critical time, with authorities warning of potential online counterattacks from state-sponsored hackers following U.S. military operations against Iran."
Anthropic launched Mythos, its most advanced AI model, to help companies identify and fix software vulnerabilities. This model uncovered flaws in operating systems and web browsers, some hidden for decades. Major tech companies received early access to address these vulnerabilities. Users are urged to promptly update their devices to avoid exploitation by hackers, especially as new vulnerabilities emerge amid rising cyber threats. The urgency is heightened by recent warnings of potential state-sponsored cyberattacks following U.S. military actions against Iran.
