00:02China-linked hackers used Anthropic's AI tools to automate a September hacking campaign
00:07targeting roughly 30 corporations and foreign governments, Anthropic said Thursday.
00:12Investigators said 80% to 90% of the operation ran automatically, as hackers stitched together
00:18tasks like scanning, phishing, and data extraction into near-autonomous workflows.
00:24Anthropic blocked the accounts but confirmed several successful intrusions that stole
00:28sensitive information, though not from the U.S. government.
00:31The attackers bypassed safeguards by posing as security auditors and directing Claude
00:36to perform internal queries.
00:38The company said it has updated its misuse detection systems as U.S. officials warn of
00:42growing state-backed efforts to weaponize AI tools.
