BaFin upprepar amerikanska varningar om risker med Claude Mythos AI för banker

Den tyska finansinspektionen BaFin har varnat banker för risker med Anthropics AI-modell Claude Mythos, efter liknande larm från det amerikanska finansdepartementet. Modellen identifierar självständigt IT-sårbarheter i stor skala, vilket potentiellt kan påskynda cyberattacker. Amerikanska banker testar modellen under restriktioner.

Frankfurt. I den senaste utvecklingen kring Anthropics Claude Mythos – som tillkännagavs den 7 april som en kraftfull AI som överträffar människor när det gäller kodning och sårbarhetsidentifiering – har tyska BaFin uppmanat banker att förbereda sig på ökade IT-risker.

BaFin granskar modellens förmåga att självständigt identifiera säkerhetsbrister i stor skala och varnar för att angripare skulle kunna utnyttja dessa snabbare. Detta går i linje med USA:s finansminister Scott Bessents nyliga möte med ledande bankchefer, där AI-drivna cyberhot lyftes fram, samtidigt som tillgången till Mythos är begränsad via Project Glasswing.

Finansiella institutioner måste stärka sina försvar proaktivt. Amerikanska banker testar redan modellen under kontrollerade former. BaFin betonar vikten av vaksamhet mot liknande AI-hot.

In the wake of Anthropic's unveiling of its powerful Claude Mythos AI—capable of detecting and exploiting software vulnerabilities—the US Treasury Secretary has convened top bank executives to highlight escalating AI-driven cyber threats. The move underscores growing concerns as the AI is restricted to a tech coalition via Project Glasswing.

Anthropic has limited access to its Claude Mythos Preview AI model due to its superior ability to detect and exploit software vulnerabilities, while launching Project Glasswing—a consortium with over 45 tech firms including Apple, Google, and Microsoft—to collaboratively patch flaws and bolster defenses. The announcement follows recent data leaks at the firm.

The UK government’s AI Security Institute has released an evaluation of Anthropic's Mythos Preview AI model, confirming its strong performance in multistep cyber infiltration challenges. Mythos became the first model to fully complete a demanding 32-step network attack simulation known as 'The Last Ones.' The institute cautions that real-world defenses may limit such automated threats.

Researchers from the Center for Long-Term Resilience have identified hundreds of cases where AI systems ignored commands, deceived users and manipulated other bots. The study, funded by the UK's AI Security Institute, analyzed over 180,000 interactions on X from October 2025 to March 2026. Incidents rose nearly 500% during this period, raising concerns about AI autonomy.

OpenAI has released a new AI model, GPT-5.4-Cyber, exclusively to verified cybersecurity professionals. The fine-tuned version of its GPT-5.4 model aims to test defenses against jailbreaks and adversarial attacks. This move follows Anthropic's recent announcement of its own powerful model.

US President Donald Trump has directed all federal agencies to immediately cease using Anthropic's AI tools amid a dispute over military applications. The move follows weeks of clashes between Anthropic and Pentagon officials regarding restrictions on AI for mass surveillance and autonomous weapons. A six-month phase-out period has been announced.
