What happened

A cluster of Wired stories highlights a broad, escalating cybersecurity landscape: the arrival of Anthropic’s Claude Mythos raises fears that advanced AI could accelerate hacking and prompt a developer-focused security reckoning, while industry collaboration (Project Glasswing) aims to harden AI defenses. Concurrent incidents—Claude code leaks being posted with malware, a Mercor data vendor breach affecting AI training data, theft of Cisco source code, and an FBI wiretap-tools compromise—signal a dangerous supply-chain and tooling exposure. Nation-state activity and physical-impact threats are
