Anthropic's Claude Mythos Finds Thousands of Zero-Day Flaws Across Major Systems Claude Mythos finds thousands of zero-days as Anthropic launches Project Glasswing, enhancing defenses but exposing AI security risks.

Glasswing is identifying exploits at a breathtaking pace, so much so that anthropic delayed its release of Claude Mythos. No human can actually measure the scope of vulnerabilities that exist in the wild as of today.
