Anthropic is investigating reports of unauthorized access to "Claude Mythos," a powerful and private artificial intelligence model [1][2]. The company kept the tool restricted because it can identify and exploit zero-day vulnerabilities across major operating systems and web browsers [1][3].

Reports suggest an unauthorized group successfully gained access to the restricted tool [3]. This incident has triggered significant cybersecurity concerns in Washington and among global security experts [2].

The potential exposure of a tool designed for exploit discovery represents a serious threat to digital infrastructure [1][2]. Anthropic has not yet confirmed the full extent of the reported data breach [2].
