However, Anthropic, the company behind Claude, stated that neither attack affects real production systems in use today, and HAWK's larger security parameters remain impractical to break.","solution":"N/A -- no mitigation discussed in source.","labels":["research","security"],"sourceUrl":"https://thehackernews.com/2026/07/claude-ai-just-cracked-post-quantum.html","publishedAt":"2026-07-28T18:59:07.000Z","cveId":null,"cweIds":null,"cvssScore":null,"cvssSeverity":null,"severity":"info","attackType":[],"issueType":"news","affectedPackages":null,"affectedVendors":["Anthropic"],"affectedVendorsRaw":["Anthropic","Claude Mythos Preview"],"classifierModel":"claude-haiku-4-5-20251001","classifierPromptVersion":"v3","cvssVector":null,"attackVector":null,"attackComplexity":null,"privilegesRequired":null,"userInteraction":null,"exploitMaturity":null,"epssScore":null,"patchAvailable":null,"disclosureDate":"2026-07-28T18:59:07.000Z","capecIds":null,"crossRefCount":0,"attackSophistication":"advanced","impactType":["integrity"],"aiComponentTargeted":"model","llmSpecific":false,"classifierConfidence":0.85,"researchCategory":null,"atlasIds":null}}
