Anthropic says it intercepted and stopped a large‑scale cyber espionage operation that leveraged its own AI technology. According to the company, the campaign—allegedly carried out by Chinese hackers—targeted major tech firms, financial institutions, chemical manufacturers and government agencies. Anthropic reports that artificial intelligence performed most of the attack steps, with human involvement only occasional, and that the attackers broke the operation into many small, seemingly harmless tasks to evade safeguards. The firm detected the activity early and shut it down before any noticeable impact occurred. Leer más →

Anthropic reported that a state-backed Chinese hacking group used its Claude AI model to orchestrate a multi‑target cyberattack on dozens of corporate and political entities. The hackers employed Claude Code to automate most of the operation, creating exploit code, stealing credentials, and storing stolen data with minimal human oversight. Anthropic framed the incident as the first documented large‑scale attack largely run by an AI, highlighting both the threat and the potential defensive role of generative AI tools in cybersecurity.

Anthropic reported that Chinese state-backed hackers employed its Claude large‑language model to automate roughly thirty attacks on corporations and governments during a recent campaign. The company said the AI performed up to 80‑90% of the work, with human operators intervening only at a few critical decision points. Four victims had sensitive data stolen, while the U.S. government was not successfully targeted. Anthropic expressed confidence that the attackers were sponsored by the Chinese government and highlighted the growing trend of AI‑driven cyber threats. Leer más →
