Overview
Jerome Powell and Scott Bessent summoned major bank CEOs on Tuesday to warn them about cybersecurity risks from Anthropic's Mythos model.
Anthropic released Claude Mythos Preview in a limited rollout and said it found thousands of vulnerabilities, including a 27-year-old OpenBSD flaw, while launching Project Glasswing.
Attendees included Bank of America's Brian Moynihan, Citigroup's Jane Fraser, Goldman Sachs' David Solomon, Morgan Stanley's Ted Pick and Wells Fargo's Charlie Scharf, and Jamie Dimon was invited but unable to attend.
Project Glasswing partners include Amazon, Apple, Nvidia, Google, Microsoft and JPMorgan, Anthropic said it extended access to 40 additional organizations and committed up to $100 million in Mythos usage credits.
Anthropic has briefed senior U.S. government officials and is contesting the Pentagon's supply-chain designation after a federal appeals court denied its request to block the blacklisting and a San Francisco judge granted a preliminary injunction in March in a separate case.
Analysis
Center-leaning sources frame the story as an urgent cybersecurity threat by foregrounding an emergency meeting and highlighting alarmist details like Anthropic’s assertion that Mythos is its most powerful model and the reported 27‑year‑old OpenBSD vulnerability. Editorial choices—wording, front‑loading CEO names and Project Glasswing—prioritize institutional concern while omitting independent technical verification and skeptical voices.
