Testing reveals Claude Mythos’s offensive capabilities and limits

Could Claude Mythos Preview, Anthropic’s latest large language model, be leveraged for fully automated cyber attacks? The UK government’s AI Security Institute (AISI) tested its capability to successfully engage in capture-the-flag (CTF) challenges and multi-step attack scenarios, and found that that while its cybersecurity capabilities exceed those of previously available models, it can’t reliably execute autonomous attacks on hardened networks. What is Claude Mythos Preview? Anthropic introduced Claude Mythos Preview to the public earlier this … More → The post Testing reveals Claude Mythos’s offensive capabilities and limits appeared first on Help Net Security.

Oligo enables real-time exploit detection and blocking at application runtime

Oligo Security has unveiled Runtime Exploit Blocking, a new capability that stops exploit attempts at the application layer in real time. By providing visibility into how applications execute and behave, Oligo identifies and blocks malicious activity at the point of execution, without killing containers or processes, or impacting the application. Attackers rely on repeatable exploit techniques to infiltrate organizations, with Mandiant reporting that exploitation has remained the leading initial access vector for six consecutive years. … More → The post Oligo enables real-time exploit detection and blocking at application runtime appeared first on Help Net Security.

Quantum systems can remember and forget at the same time, scientists discover

Quantum systems can secretly “remember” their past—even when they appear not to. Scientists found that whether a system shows memory depends on how you look at it: through its evolving state or its measurable properties. Each perspective uncovers different kinds of memory, meaning a system can seem memoryless and memory-filled at the same time. This discovery could change how researchers design and control quantum technologies.
