About
Anthropic's AI model Claude Mythos Preview just cracked a 27-year-old bug in OpenBSD and broke Apple's brand-new M5 hardware security feature in five days flat — the one Apple spent five years and billions building. Over 99% of what Mythos has found so far is still unpatched, and that number is not a glitch in the data, that is the entire story. The patching backlog was already a disaster before this model existed, and now it has a power tool feeding it around the clock.
