Anthropic study shows AI needs hours, not weeks, to build exploits from security patches
Anthropic research finds its Mythos Preview model can convert Firefox and Windows kernel security patches into working exploits within hours for a few thousand dollars, outpacing standard auto-update cycles.
Anthropic's security team found that its Mythos Preview AI model can turn security patches for Firefox and the Windows kernel into working exploits within hours, for a few thousand dollars and no specialized knowledge. Eight complete attack chains were finished before Microsoft's auto-updates had reached a single device.
The old patch rhythm is obsolete, Anthropic argues. The article Anthropic study shows AI needs hours, not weeks, to build exploits from security patches appeared first on The Decoder.
