Amateur Sleuths Breach Security of Powerful AI Model
A group of amateur sleuths on Discord gained unauthorized access to Anthropic’s powerful Mythos AI model, which has been touted as a capable tool for finding security vulnerabilities. The access was gained through straightforward detective work and existing permissions, and the group used Mythos to build simple websites. Meanwhile, surveillance firms have been exploiting telecom vulnerabilities to spy on targets, and a UK health records leak has been discovered on Alibaba. The security incidents were first reported by WIRED.
