Anthropic’s Mythos sends US banks rushing to plug cyber holes

@Google intercepted first live AI zero-day exploit, escalating cyber arms conflict fast. Security teams race to harness AI as both weapon and defense.

🚨 “WE’RE IN THE MATRIX”, TECH CEO ERIN VALENTI, 33, zero mental health history, just sold her brain-computer interface company (literal thought-controlled computers) to Meta, then calls her parents from a California highway in full paranoid meltdown. Five days later: body found in the back seat of her rental car, parked in the exact same spot since the call. Official cause? “Acute manic episode, natural causes.” The “coaching event” she attended right before? Zero internet footprint. Another scientist from her company drops dead on the same timeline. She was aggressively pushing non-invasive brain-machine interfaces and Ctrl-Labs. They don’t vanish you for building the neural cage. They vanish you for noticing you’re already inside it. The only exit code they can’t manic-episode, Meta-buy, or delete from the simulation? Bitcoin Stack sats or get memory-holed from the fckn Matrix.

Sectors and businesses that can not only handle the disruption but also benefit from it are identified by the Bloomberg Intelligence AI Risk & Opportunities Matrix. Anurag Rana, a senior software analyst, evaluated the industry based on a number of factors, such as the software's criticality, the vendor's market share, network effects, whether the company is a platform or point-product provider, and whether the end users are consumers, small businesses, or large corporations. #disruption #software #ai

📰 Cointelegraph Chinese | Asian Morning Brief 05.12 💥 Market Snapshot ✅ Google: Hackers are using AI to build zero-day exploits that bypass two-factor authentication ✅ CIRCLE launches AGENT STACK, a toolkit enabling AI agents to autonomously use USDC funds ✅ ANTHROPIC declares secondary market stock trading invalid—a policy covering tokenized securities ✅ OPENAI introduces the cybersecurity initiative DAYBREAK, leveraging AI to accelerate vulnerability detection and remediation ✅ VITALIK: ZK payments could become the next global standard ✅ ASTER announces listing of popular Hong Kong stocks including MINIMAX and POPMART #AsianMorningBrief #Cryptocurrency #AI #USDC #ZK #HongKongStocks

OpenAI launching Daybreak plus AAS hardware-key support is a bigger signal than it looks. Frontier AI is moving from better demos to secure enterprise defaults. This cycle’s winners won’t just be smartest models. They’ll be the stacks security teams can actually approve.

ai is finding software bugs faster: can crypto patch them fast enough? as ai speeds up cve discovery, crypto exchanges, wallets and validators face growing pressure to identify vulnerable software and remediate risks quickly. #ai is finding software vulnerabilities faster than #crypto can fix them. #google's "big sleep" ai discovered a real sqlite exploit in 2025, while #microsoft used ai to uncover bootloader flaws. the problem? ai speeds up discovery for both defenders and attackers, narrowing the response window. crypto platforms rely on hundreds of interconnected open-source libraries - exchanges, wallets, validators all face hidden risks from untracked dependencies. solution: sbom's (software bills of materials) - detailed "ingredient lists" mapping every component and version. without sbom's, teams waste days searching codebases when vulnerabilities hit. with them, exposure gets identified instantly for faster patching. #VrReports

BREAKING: Google's Threat Intelligence Group caught the first AI-built zero-day exploit, a Python script bypassing 2FA in an open-source web admin tool, stopping mass exploitation.

OpenAI is giving the EU access to its most powerful cybersecurity AI model. Anthropic is not. OpenAI announced today it will grant EU partners, including governments, businesses, and EU institutions, access to GPT-5.5-Cyber, a model built specifically for cyber defense. George Osborne, OpenAI's Head of Countries, said advanced AI-powered defense tools should be accessible to Europe's broader community of defenders, not just a select few. The EU Commission welcomed the move. Spokesperson Thomas Regnier confirmed further discussions this week and said access "will allow us to follow deployment of the model very closely and address security concerns." Anthropic has not made the same offer. The EU has held four or five meetings with Anthropic about access to Claude Mythos, a competing cybersecurity model launched last month that Anthropic says can outperform human researchers at finding software vulnerabilities. But the Commission says those discussions are "not yet at the same stage as the solution we have on the table from OpenAI."
