Anthropic caused an industrywide panic last week when it announced Claude Mythos Preview, an AI model with a knack for uncovering high-level cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Among its achievements, the model found a now-patched weak spot in OpenBSD, an operating system known for its security, that Anthropic claimed went undiscovered for 27 years. It has also found “thousands of additional high- and critical-severity vulnerabilities” across open-source and closed-source programs, according to the company. Tech insiders and other experts subsequently freaked out over the potential for the large language model to upend cybersecurity, but one 25-year industry veteran is skeptical. David Lindner, chief information security officer at Contrast Security, told Fortune that while Mythos may help find myriad problems, this isn’t necessarily the most important issue. “We’ve never had a problem finding vulnerabilities. We find them every day. We actually have a pile of them that we just don’t fix,” he said. “So I don’t think that really changes anything.” Lindner pointed out that weak spots are easier to find than to fix, noting that Anthropic’s blog post announcing Mythos stated over 99% of the vulnerabilities the model uncovered haven’t been patched. More specifically, he said, Mythos does little to help solve one of the biggest issues facing cybersecurity experts: social engineering. Hackers can still use existing tools and AI to impersonate an employee’s boss or an IT worker and gain access to systems, he argued. Anthropic has said Mythos is so powerful it won’t be publicly released, and it is being made available only to a group of 40 organizations including tech companies such as Microsoft, Apple, and Google, as well as others like cybersecurity company CrowdStrike and bank JPMorgan Chase so they can use the technology to improve their own security infrastructure through an effort it called Project Glasswing.
