IT industry, Govt. examine cybersecurity implications of Anthropic’s Mythos model

The Indian IT industry and the Union government are studying the ramifications of Claude Mythos, Anthropic’s unreleased model that has been billed as a powerful scanner – and potentially a vector – of undiscovered security vulnerabilities across the world’s most widely used computer systems.

The Hindu has learnt that officials in the Electronics and Information Technology Ministry and at the Computer Emergency Response Team, India (CERT-in) are deliberating what Mythos’s capabilities could mean in the coming days, even as a consortium of American firms, in partnership with Anthropic, rushes to patch software vulnerabilities that human cybersecurity experts have not hitherto spotted or fixed.
