Summary
Advanced AI models like Claude's Mythos can now quickly identify vulnerabilities (weaknesses in software) in code, connect them into working attack paths, and generate functional exploits (tools that exploit vulnerabilities) with minimal effort. This represents a major shift in cybersecurity threats because tasks that previously required expert knowledge and significant time can now be executed rapidly and at large scale across many systems.
