Unauthorized individuals have gained access to Anthropic's cybersecurity-focused AI model, Mythos, a breach that may have exposed a number of Anthropic's proprietary AI models, Bloomberg reports. For a company that markets itself as the responsible, safety- and security-first AI developer, this lapse raises questions about how well Anthropic can protect the data of its customers — and just how good Mythos really is at preventing breaches.

Unfortunately, as capable as any AI model is at finding code bugs that raise security concerns, it can't do much to prevent bugs in third-party provider tools that haven't been vetted by Mythos, nor account for social engineering, which has always been the weakest link in digital security.
