Mythos Preview Sparks a Security Reboot for Software

Anthropic’s Claude Mythos Preview can identify vulnerabilities across systems and autonomously develop exploits, a capability the company says will force a cybersecurity rethink. It’s being tested with Project Glasswing among a limited group of tech giants to give defenders a head start, but experts are divided: some see it as a real threat that could accelerate exploit chains and zero-click attacks, while others view it as hype. Regardless, the rollout is framed as a wake-up call to move toward secure-by-design software and machine-scale defenses rather than relying solely on patching and reaction.

Claude Opus 4.6 Unmasks 500 Open-Source Flaws, Redefining Cyber Defense

Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.6, tested in a sandbox, autonomously found over 500 previously unknown high-severity zero-day vulnerabilities in open-source libraries—ranging from crashes to memory corruption—in projects like GhostScript, OpenSC, and CGIF; it used out-of-the-box analysis and even wrote its own proof-of-concepts in some cases. Anthropic says these capabilities could greatly aid defenders, plans to broaden access to the security community, and has added safeguards to prevent abuse.

Chrome lets you delete the on-device AI powering scam protection

Google Chrome now allows users to delete the local AI model that powers the Enhanced Protection feature’s real-time scam-detection and suspicious-download scanning. You can disable this by going to Settings > System and turning off “On-device GenAI.” The on-device model is currently in Chrome Canary with rollouts expected soon, and Google suggests these local AI components may power other Chrome features beyond scam protection.
