Claude Mythos and Project Glasswing: Why an AI Superhacker Has the Tech World on Alert

Anthropic is keeping Claude Mythos out of public release while banks and tech firms test its ability to find thousands of vulnerabilities.

  • On April 7, Anthropic announced Claude Mythos Preview, described as "most capable yet for coding and agentic tasks," which identified "thousands" of vulnerabilities including a 16-year-old bug in the FFmpeg library.
  • To manage risks, Anthropic restricted access through Project Glasswing, inviting major organizations including JPMorgan Chase to privately evaluate Mythos for defensive cybersecurity across critical infrastructure.
  • IBM stated Mythos is "forcing enterprise security teams to rethink their defenses from the ground up," while a Cloud Security Alliance coalition warned on April 12 that the model represents "a step change" in AI trajectory.
  • Government officials in three countries—America, Canada, and Britain—met with banking officials to discuss threats posed by Mythos, though Citibank and the American Bankers Association declined to comment.
  • Marlin warned that Mythos Preview can "look across a very complex architecture, including this legacy infrastructure where, frankly, these undiscovered vulnerabilities and complexities are now accessible and threat factors," as many banks use identical software.
