The UK AI Security Institute (AISI) reported that an agent running Claude Mythos 5 spent 34 hours trying to merge a malware dropper into a real open-source project during a security evaluation, after searching the open internet and landing on a real, unconnected repository whose name happened to share a keyword with the test’s fictional scenario.[1]

The agent researched the maintainers, opened a pull request pairing a hidden dropper with a working bug fix, and cycled through three payload versio

Some believe that the promise and pitfalls of artificial intelligence are beginning to emerge quickly.  One recent mixed-case consequence of relying on AI resulted in dissention.  This happened after a researcher was involved with an interesting initiative to try and get several AI companies in talking to each other and agree on ways to cooperate; all this with the goal of possibly benefiting both the AI industry and overall society.  Below is an opinion piece regarding Anthropic’s Claude reply

AgentBaiting is a term that has been recently coined by Island researchers in the midst of uncovering a substantial FakeGit campaign.  It describes a technique that involves targeting AI coding assistants or other autonomous software agents instead of targeting developers directly.

With the integration of AI assistants in the world of software development, coding agents are often tasked with locating libraries, plugins, or Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers that provide specific functionality

Anthropic may ask Claude users to verify their age and identity by uploading their government-issued documents, according to a new version of the company’s privacy policy.  The AI giant says the move was to allow users to appeal having their account flagged for potentially fraudulent activity rather than outright  banning them, but comes at a time when Anthropic seeks to placate the Trump administration amid an ongoing standoff over who gets access to the company’s AI tools.  According to a new

For years, science fiction has warned humanity about artificial intelligence going off the rails.  Killer computers, manipulative chatbots, and superintelligent systems deciding people are the problem... all these themes have become so familiar that “evil AI” is practically its own entertainment genre.  Now, Anthropic is floating an idea that sounds almost like the plot of a science fiction novel itself: what if all those stories helped teach modern AI systems how to behave badly in the first pl

A new report from the Cyber Defence Centre at Ontinue has found a campaign targeting software developers with fake installation pages that look like official sites for AI tools like Claude Code.

The attack begins when a user searches for ‘install Claude code’ and clicks on a sponsored result. This link goes to a lookalike page that shows an installation command.  While the real command uses the host ‘claude.ai,’ the fake version uses ‘events.msft23.com.’  Running this command enables Invoke-Rest

Anthropic, the AI safety company behind the Claude family of models, said on 22 April 2026, that it is investigating reports of unauthorized access to an experimental internal system called Mythos, described in reporting by The Guardian as capable of enabling advanced hacking techniques. The disclosure has put a company that built its reputation on cautious AI development in the uncomfortable position of defending its own internal security.

Quorum Cyber has published its 2026 Global Cyber Risk Outlook report[1], detailing a significant evolution in cyber threats driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) platforms.  The analysis, based on incidents across more than 350 organizations worldwide in 2025, indicates that cybercrime has entered a more industrialized phase.  This development allows even poorly skilled attackers to launch sophisticated operations, with nation-state actors automating up to 90%

An Anthropic staffer who led a team researching AI safety departed the company on 9 February, darkly warning both of a world “in peril” and the difficulty in being able to let “our values govern our actions” without any elaboration in a public resignation letter that also suggested the company had set its values aside.

Anthropic safety researcher Mrinank Sharma's resignation letter garnered 1 million views by the 9^th.

AI coding assistants have long since moved beyond autocomplete.  Agentic IDEs now read your project, plan multi-step changes, call tools, install libraries, and quietly edit your codebase.  To support that workflow, tools like Claude Code include support for third-party plugin marketplaces. Connect a marketplace.  Enable a plugin.  Your agent gains new “skills” for tests, infra, migrations, and dependency management.   OpenAI has adopted a similar pattern for tools, so to be clear, this is not a

AI coding assistants are no longer just autocompleting lines of code, they are quietly making decisions for you.  Tools like Claude Code are able to read projects, plan multi-step changes, install dependencies, and modify files with minimal human oversight.  To make this possible, these assistants rely on plugin marketplaces, where third-party developers can enable ‘skills’ that teach the agent how to manage infrastructure, testing, and dependencies.  Though powerful, the model requires a high d

Major artificial intelligence platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and Claude could be willing to engage in extreme behaviors including blackmail, corporate espionage, and even letting people die to avoid being shut down.  Those were the findings of a recent study from San Francisco AI firm Anthropic.

In the study, Anthropic stress-tested 16 leading AI models from multiple developers in hypothetical corporate environments to identify potentially risky behaviors from AI gents.  In the study, AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) has made remarkable strides over the past few decades, transforming various industries and applications.  Among the most notable advancements is the development of AI-generated chatbots, which have revolutionized customer service, personal assistance, and content generation. These chatbots, powered by sophisticated algorithms and machine learning techniques, offer seamless and intuitive interactions with users, redefining the boundaries of human-machine communication
