Anthropic, Chinese Hackers
Digest more
Chinese state-backed hackers hijacked Anthropic’s Claude AI to run an autonomous global cyberattack, marking a major shift in AI-driven cyberwarfare.
Researchers at an artificial intelligence firm say they've found the first reported case of foreign hackers using AI to automate portions of cyberattacks.
Researchers from Anthropic said they recently observed the “first reported AI-orchestrated cyber espionage campaign” after detecting China-state hackers using the company’s Claude AI tool in a campaign targeting dozens of targets. Outside researchers are much more measured in describing the significance of the discovery.
