Trending on Reddit: Anthropic's Mythos AI Has Already Found 10,000+ Critical Vulnerabilities
What Happened
Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview, deployed against essential infrastructure software, surfaced over 10,000 high or critical severity flaws. Schneier wrote two posts this month on the implications, and researchers separately used Mythos to develop a working kernel memory corruption exploit on Apple's M5. The bottleneck has officially shifted from finding bugs to fixing them.
My Take
Every CISO budget conversation just changed. We're entering a phase where defenders know about thousands of unpatched holes that attackers — using the same models — also know about. The winners won't be companies with the best scanners; they'll be the ones who can ship patches in hours, not quarters. If your release process still measures in sprints, you're a target. Expect a 2026 wave of insurance carriers demanding AI-assisted patching SLAs before they'll write cyber coverage.
