The ECB supervises about 111 of the eurozone\u2019s largest banks, including subsidiaries of Wall Street groups such as JPMorgan Chase.<\/p>\n<p>Frank Elderson, vice-chair of the ECB supervisory board, told the Financial Times that existing cyber security concerns had become more urgent because of rapid advances in AI. \u201cThere is a whole range of issues on cyber security that we have been engaging on with the banks for years which are all still valid, but given the progress in AI, they need to be dealt with faster,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Elderson said banks needed to deploy software patches more quickly because vulnerabilities could now be identified and exploited within minutes. \u201cIt seems if one of the big software providers comes with a patch it is possible to reverse-engineer the vulnerability that the patch is supposed to patch, not in weeks but maybe in 30 minutes,\u201d he told the Financial Times.<\/p>\n<p>Anthropic said last month that Mythos had identified \u201cthousands of high-severity vulnerabilities\u201d across major operating systems and web browsers. The company has restricted access to the model through its Project Glasswing testing programme, with most participants based in the US, leaving European banks and regulators concerned about limited visibility into the technology\u2019s capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Elderson described the lack of European access to Mythos as \u201cunfortunate\u201d but warned lenders against delaying action. \u201cThe fact that you don\u2019t have access&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nationaltechnology.co.uk\/ECB_Presses_Banks_Over_AI_Driven_Cybersecurity_Risks.php\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ECB presses banks over AI-driven cybersecurity risks https:\/\/nationaltechnology.co.uk\/ECB_Presses_Banks_Over_AI_Driven_Cybersecurity_Risks.php Publish Date: 2026-05-26 04:17:00 Source Domain: nationaltechnology.co.uk&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":255514,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/nationaltechnology.co.uk\/images\/hacker-ai-screen-hoodie-m.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[20,57,27],"class_list":["post-255513","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-security","tag-vulnerability"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255513"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=255513"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255513\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":255515,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255513\/revisions\/255515"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/255514"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=255513"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=255513"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=255513"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
