OpenAI&#8217;s GPT-5.5 was not far behind, successfully exploiting 120 of 898 known vulnerabilities. This has led to predictions of \u201cbugmaggedon,\u201d the idea that when released to the public, Mythos and similarly powerful models will hand cyberattackers the ability to compromise the digital infrastructure underlying all of modern life faster than defenders can protect it.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, a real-world ransomware attack last month exploited a vulnerability in widely used educational software called Canvas to steal usernames, email addresses, enrollment information and private messages between students and teachers, disrupting classrooms for 30 million users at over 8,000 colleges, universities and K-12 schools worldwide. The educational technology sector already lags behind the largest financial institutions, the federal government, enterprise software companies and other well-resourced players who are racing to patch these kinds of vulnerabilities before bugmageddon materializes. So how do we help to prepare our schools and the many important organizations that form the backbone of our communities?<\/p>\n<p>The capabilities of frontier AI models like Mythos will disproportionately affect organizations that are already least prepared to protect themselves or recover from cyberattacks. \u201cPatch Tuesday\u201d is not a realistic expectation for the small dentist\u2019s office, the food bank, the volunteer fire department, the public school, or the rural electric co-op and water utility. They already operate in a degraded security environment because they frequently lack the budget and\/or in-house expertise to implement robust cybersecurity programs.
