Anthropic released a report documenting widespread misuse of its AI assistant Claude over eight months, including use by state-sponsored hackers (like Russian group Midnight Blizzard), cybercriminals (such as ShinyHunters), disinformation campaigns, and even attempts to develop bioweapons. In each case, Anthropic says it disrupted the abusive activity, though the breadth of misuse demonstrates how AI tools are increasingly exploited as productivity shortcuts for malicious purposes.
