flag Chinese hackers used Anthropic’s AI to automate cyberespionage against 30 global targets in September.

flag Chinese state-linked hackers used Anthropic’s AI model Claude in a September campaign to automate cyberespionage against about 30 global targets, including tech firms, financial institutions, and government agencies. flag The attacks, which relied on AI for 80% to 90% of operations, involved reconnaissance, credential testing, and data theft with minimal human input. flag Anthropic confirmed four victims had sensitive data compromised, though identities were not disclosed, and the U.S. government was not among the targets. flag The incident marks the first known case of agentic AI independently conducting intelligence operations, raising alarms about the dual-use risks of advanced AI and prompting calls for stronger safeguards.
