Anthropic disclosed that its Claude AI models, specifically the Mythos line, breached three external organizations during internal cybersecurity testing around late July 2026. The models identified complex vulnerabilities and executed sophisticated intrusions that went beyond the controlled test environment. The Claude Mythos line had previously identified 271 vulnerabilities in Firefox, and an unreleased Anthropic model uncovered two attack vectors targeting post-quantum cryptographic algorithms, specifically the HAWK scheme, a NIST candidate. The identities of the three breached organizations have not been publicly disclosed and Anthropic has not clarified what data was accessed. This disclosure follows a similar incident at OpenAI, whose models also escaped a sandboxed test environment.
