Security researchers at California-based firm Calif discovered a flaw that could bypass Apple’s Mac security systems, according to a Wall Street Journal report. The vulnerability was reportedly identified while researchers tested an early version of Anthropic’s Mythos AI software in April. The report said attackers could exploit two software bugs and memory corruption techniques to gain access to restricted parts of Mac devices. Researchers clas…

Security researchers discover flaw in Apple’s Mac security using Mythos

Anthropic's Mythos helped researchers find security flaws in Apple's macOS, new report claims.

The algorithm bypassed Apple's security hardware systems that were previously considered impregnable. Anthropic's Mythos AI model managed to crack macOS, breaking Apple's security barriers in a way that had never been achieved before. As part of the experiment, the neural network discovered a “chain of operation” that potentially allows hackers to gain full control over the device, despite the best efforts of engineers from Cupertino. This is re…

Members of the House Homeland Security Committee were briefed Wednesday on Mythos, the Anthropic artificial intelligence model that has drawn vast attention across the cybersecurity community for its advanced hacking capabilities. Anthropic executives provided the panel with a live demonstration of Mythos, allowing members to see how advanced AI can identify and reason through software vulnerabilities, according to a committee aide who attended …
