Anthropic's Mythos AI falls into unauthorized hands, fueling weaponization fears

Anthropic says Claude Mythos Preview, a powerful cybersecurity AI capable of identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities, was accessed by a small, unauthorized group via a third‑party vendor. The attackers, tied to a private Discord channel and reportedly using data from a Mercor breach to locate the model, have demonstrated Mythos with screenshots and a live demo, and reportedly not for cybersecurity to avoid detection. Access to Mythos is restricted to a handful of firms under Project Glasswing (including Nvidia, Google, AWS, Apple, Microsoft) with governments eyeing the tech. Anthropic is investigating and says there’s no evidence of impact on its systems; the company has no plans to publicly release Mythos due to weaponization concerns.

Google Workspace's Design Flaw Exposes Organizations to Unauthorized Access

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a "severe design flaw" in Google Workspace's domain-wide delegation feature that could be exploited by attackers to gain unauthorized access to Workspace APIs without super admin privileges. The flaw, codenamed DeleFriend, allows threat actors to manipulate existing delegations in the Google Cloud Platform and Google Workspace. By creating numerous JSON web tokens, attackers can pinpoint successful combinations of private key pairs and authorized OAuth scopes, enabling them to perform API calls on behalf of other identities in the domain. Successful exploitation of the flaw could result in the theft of emails, data exfiltration, and unauthorized actions within Google Workspace APIs.

GBI Releases Full Report on Coffee Co. Investigation

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) has completed its 13-month investigation into allegations of unauthorized access to voting equipment in Coffee County, Georgia. The investigation was prompted by a breach in January 2021, where a computer forensics team allegedly handled, scanned, and copied the state's voting software and equipment without lawful authority. The GBI report, which has been released in full, focuses on individuals physically present during the breach and does not analyze how the findings align with criminal laws or recommend pursuing charges. Two individuals charged in a separate criminal probe related to the breach have recently pleaded guilty to unauthorized access to voting systems. The report also reveals that multiple third parties accessed the copied data after the breach occurred.
