Claude Mythos Helped Crack macOS, One of Hackers’ Toughest Target
Security researchers used Anthropic’s Claude Mythos Preview to help identify vulnerabilities and develop a macOS privilege escalation exploit targeting Apple’s M5 silicon.
AI security is now a core part of cybersecurity. In AIstify’s AI Security section, we cover how models are attacked, defended, and operated safely – from prompt injection and data leakage to supply-chain risk and model misuse. We track vendor tooling, red-teaming, evaluations, and the policies shaping secure deployment across cloud and edge. Whether you are defending systems or building them, this hub keeps you current on threats, mitigations, and the standards emerging around trustworthy AI.
