Anthropic caught Russia-linked spies using Claude in hacking operations

Anthropic discovered a Russia-linked cyber-espionage group using its AI tool in a hacking operation. The campaign targeted over 20 organizations, including government, intelligence, diplomatic, and defense entities. Anthropic was able to detect and disrupt the group's activities. The hacking operation utilized Anthropic's AI tool Claude. The targeted organizations were likely compromised as part of a larger cyber-espionage effort. Anthropic's detection and disruption of the group may have prevented further unauthorized access.
