The report, citing a publicly accessible draft blog post, described Mythos as Anthropic\u2019s most powerful model yet, with advanced cyber capabilities that raise potential security concerns.<\/p>\n<p>Anthropic said it plans a slow rollout because of those concerns. The company did not immediately respond to CNBC\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>The market reaction was swift. The iShares Cybersecurity ETF (IHAK) dropped 4.5% on the day. CrowdStrike (CRWD), Palo Alto Networks (PANW), and Zscaler (ZS) each fell around 6%. SentinelOne (S) tumbled 6%, while Okta and Netskope each dropped more than 7%. Tenable (TENB) led the declines, falling 9%.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first time the sector has taken a hit from Anthropic news. Last month, cyber stocks sold off after Anthropic added a code-scanning security tool to Claude. The concern in both cases is the same: AI tools that can be used offensively put pressure on defenders to keep up.<\/p>\n<p>Anthropic disclosed in November that a state-sponsored group in China had used Claude to automate a cyberattack.<\/p>\n<h2>Stock-by-Stock Breakdown<\/h2>\n<p><strong>CrowdStrike (CRWD)<\/strong> dropped around 6% on the day.
