Anthropic to Brief Financial Stability Board on Cyber Risks Found by Mythos

Anthropic is preparing to brief the Financial Stability Board on cybersecurity vulnerabilities identified by its new AI model, Mythos, according to the Financial Times. The meeting follows a request from Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey, who chairs the global financial oversight body.

The Claude chatbot maker will outline Mythos's capabilities to officials from central banks and finance ministries within the FSB. The session will focus on how the model detects long-standing weaknesses in web browsers, infrastructure, and software.

Mythos was announced last month as a cybersecurity tool capable of identifying decades-old vulnerabilities. Experts have cautioned that its capabilities could also enable more advanced cyberattacks, posing risks for banks that rely on outdated technology systems.

Bailey previously warned that Mythos might expose system-level flaws that could be exploited for cyberattack purposes, describing it as a possible breakthrough in understanding global cyber risks.
