AI Could Turn Vulnerabilities into a Hacker Superweapon, Warn Experts

AI’s rising ability to identify and chain software vulnerabilities could empower hackers, creating a potential ‘Vulnpocalypse’ scenario. Anthropic withheld Mythos Preview over risk of misuse, while governments and major firms weigh defenses as experts predict such capabilities could spread within six to twelve months, risking outages and attacks on finance, healthcare, and critical infrastructure—even as a Hollywood-style catastrophe remains unlikely.

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.

Anthropic limits Mythos Preview to defense partners under Project Glasswing

Anthropic has limited Mythos Preview to select partners under Project Glasswing, granting access to more than 50 tech organizations with over $100 million in usage credits to identify and fix software vulnerabilities. The model reportedly detects thousands of high- to critical-severity bugs and can chain exploits to breach systems, prompting guarded optimism about defense benefits but raising safety concerns about a broader public release. Anthropic has briefed the U.S. government; the system card says Mythos Preview is not generally available. Many experts say results are preliminary and the potential for misuse remains a key worry.
