Australia\u2019s largest cybersecurity firm has issued an urgent warning about a powerful new artificial intelligence tool that can find and exploit flaws in software at unprecedented speed and scale, and which experts fear could trigger the next wave of major data breaches.<\/p>\n

CyberCX on Thursday told Australian businesses, banks and infrastructure operators they had a closing window to shore up their defences before the technology, or copies of it, reach the hands of criminals.<\/p>\n

\"AnthropicAnthropic has plans to broaden bank access to its Mythos cybersecurity tool.<\/span>Bloomberg<\/span><\/p>\n

The warning deals with Claude Mythos Preview, an unreleased AI model built by US company Anthropic that the firm has deemed too dangerous to release publicly. Anthropic has restricted access to about 50 major technology and infrastructure partners \u2013 including Microsoft, Google, Apple, Amazon and JPMorgan Chase \u2013 under a program called Project Glasswing.<\/p>\n

Mythos has already uncovered thousands of previously unknown software flaws, including a 27-year-old bug in an operating system used in firewalls and internet routers worldwide. In one test, it produced 181 working attacks against the Firefox web browser. An earlier, publicly available version managed just two.<\/p>\n

Anthropic product lead Angela Jiang said the cyber capability had emerged partly as a by-product of the company\u2019s broader push on coding and long-horizon agentic tasks.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf something\u2019s really good at coding, it\u2019s also very good at detecting cyberattacks, especially over a bunch of different surfaces, and chaining that together,\u201d Jiang said. The company had been \u201cprivileged to work with a bunch of companies to help improve critical infrastructure\u201d.<\/p>\n

Dimitri Vedeneev, secure AI lead at CyberCX, said it was not just Mythos\u2019s ability to find long-buried vulnerabilities that set it apart, but also its capacity to chain multiple flaws together…<\/p>\n
