Mythos attack on 3rd-round PQC algorithm candidate puts it out of commission

Anthropic said its Mythos model—which currently remains available only to a select group of trusted users—was able to advance attacks against two cryptosystems. The first system is HAWK, a digital ...

Claude found mathematical flaws in two cryptographic algorithms that years of expert review missed

Claude Mythos found mathematical weaknesses in HAWK (halving key strength) and reduced-round AES (200-800x faster attack). Both discovered mostly autonomously. No production systems affected. Each ...
