Clearly AI is a weapon, that’s why the government treats it like a tank or a predator drone.

US clears Anthropic to restore Mythos 5 to a small group of cyber defenders, but Fable 5 stays dark

The US government has cleared Anthropic to restore access to Mythos 5, its most powerful cybersecurity model, for a select group of trusted partners. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick wrote in a letter to Anthropic co-founder Tom Brown that the company’s efforts to address security concerns had “yielded significant progress,” and that the model could be released to “certain trusted partners.” The letter, dated Friday and seen by Bloomberg, does not mention any change to the restrictions on Fable 5, the public-facing version of the same model.

The clearance partially resolves a confrontation that began two weeks ago when the government invoked export controls to force Anthropic to disable both Mythos 5 and Fable 5, citing fears that security guardrails could be circumvented. Anthropic shut off all global access to both models because it could not distinguish foreign nationals from domestic users in real time.

Nation-state actors cracked critical Australian infrastructure to ‘cripple it at a time of their choosing’

Australia’s Security and Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) has established dedicated teams to counter nation-state attacks on critical infrastructure, the org’s director general Mike Burgess revealed yesterday.

“We discovered nation-state hackers had compromised the network of an Australian critical infrastructure provider,” Burgess said yesterday in remarks accompanying the release of ASIO’s annual threat assessment, a task it performs in its role as Australia’s equivalent to the FBI and MI5.

“ASIO assessed the hackers were preparing for sabotage. They weren’t planting ‘digital dynamite’ as such; they were mapping out the network and maintaining access so they could cripple it at a time of their choosing.”
