Anthropic has given investors just 48 hours to submit allocations for its latest fundraise, expected to be roughly $50 billion and close within two weeks. The AI company Anthropic is targeting a potential $900B+ valuation that could surpass OpenAI's $852 billion mark, driven by soaring revenue and demand for its Mythos AI model.
Euro-area finance ministers will convene Monday to address challenges posed by Anthropic's Mythos AI model, a tool so powerful it can enable dangerous cyberattacks. No EU government has access to the system, creating a competitive disadvantage as the White House blocks expansion while the NSA uses it internally.
OpenAI introduced Advanced Account Security for ChatGPT and Codex accounts, replacing passwords with hardware security keys and passkeys. Through a Yubico partnership, users can purchase co-branded YubiKeys for $68. The opt-in security feature targets journalists, dissidents, and researchers but remains available to all users seeking enhanced protection against phishing attacks.
Google has patched a maximum severity CVSS 10.0 vulnerability in its Gemini CLI tool that could enable remote code execution in CI/CD environments. The critical security flaw stemmed from over-permissive workspace trust settings in headless mode, allowing attackers to inject malicious configurations before sandbox initialization. Users running Gemini CLI through GitHub Actions or in automated pipelines must review and update workflows immediately.
Anthropic has moved Claude Security into public beta for Enterprise customers worldwide, offering an AI-powered cybersecurity tool that scans entire codebases for vulnerabilities and generates targeted patches. Powered by Claude Opus 4.7, the tool reasons through code like a security researcher, tracing data flows and identifying bugs that traditional scanners have missed for years.
OpenAI's publicly released GPT-5.5 performed just as well as Anthropic's restricted Mythos model on cybersecurity evaluations, achieving 71.4% success on expert-level tasks. The UK's AI Security Institute found both models succeeded at previously impossible network penetration tests, raising questions about whether Mythos warranted its limited release amid accusations of fear-based marketing.
Major banks across Asia are intensifying checks on artificial intelligence tools after Anthropic's most advanced AI model uncovered thousands of vulnerabilities in major operating systems and web browsers. The Claude Mythos Preview has sparked concerns that hackers could exploit frontier AI to identify system vulnerabilities faster and launch larger-scale cyberattacks, prompting Singapore's largest lenders and regional banks to strengthen their cybersecurity controls.
India is negotiating with the US administration and Anthropic to secure access to Claude Mythos, a powerful AI model that can detect software vulnerabilities, after being excluded from the initial 40-organization rollout. The restricted release has sparked urgent government meetings and renewed calls for state-sponsored AI entities to build India AI capability and ensure strategic autonomy in an era of high-capability AI models.
AI company Anthropic has filed a lawsuit against the US government after being designated a supply chain risk to national security—the first time a US company has received this classification. The Pentagon-Anthropic feud erupted when the company refused to remove safety guardrails that would have allowed military use of AI for fully autonomous weapons and domestic mass surveillance, leading President Trump to order all federal agencies to stop using its products.
Australia's prudential regulator APRA has warned it will take enforcement action against financial firms failing to control AI risks, following a review that found information security practices struggling to keep pace with threats from frontier AI models like Anthropic's Mythos. Banks, insurers, and retirement funds face scrutiny over their over-reliance on third-party AI vendors and inadequate governance systems.
Malwarebytes has launched a free connector for Claude that detects potential scams in real-time. The integration allows users to check suspicious links, phone numbers, email addresses, and text directly within their Claude conversations. With 66% of people struggling to identify scams, this tool provides instant verdicts and guidance without requiring a Malwarebytes account.
Thales reports that bad bots now represent nearly 40% of global internet traffic, with AI-driven bot attacks surging 12.5 times in 2025. The rise of AI agents is blurring the line between legitimate automation and malicious intent, as 27% of attacks now target APIs. Financial services bore the brunt, accounting for 46% of all account takeovers last year.
Aviatrix has introduced a new AI agent containment platform designed to isolate compromised AI agents and reduce blast radius across cloud workloads. The launch includes Zero Trust for AI Workloads, now generally available, and Aviatrix AgentGuard in early access, both addressing emerging threats like prompt injection and model poisoning without requiring code changes.
A critical SQL injection vulnerability in BerriAI's LiteLLM open-source AI Gateway was exploited within 36 hours of public disclosure. CVE-2026-42208 allows unauthenticated attackers to access sensitive API keys, provider credentials, and configuration secrets stored in the proxy database. The targeted attacks demonstrate how rapidly threat actors can weaponize vulnerabilities in AI infrastructure.
Red Hat principal software engineer Sally O'Malley launched Tank OS, an open-source tool designed to make OpenClaw AI agent deployments safer for enterprises. The weekend project packages OpenClaw in secure containers that isolate credentials and prevent agents from accessing host systems, addressing growing enterprise security concerns as autonomous agents become widespread.
