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.

Researchers analyzing 10 million web pages have identified 1,748 active API credentials from 14 major providers exposed across nearly 10,000 websites, including those run by banks and healthcare providers. These leaks could enable attackers to access sensitive data or gain control over digital infrastructure. Nurullah Demir of Stanford University described the issue as very significant, affecting even major companies.
