Recently, in a blog post titled "Disrupting the first reported AI-orchestrated cyber espionage campaign", Claude owner Anthropic shared details on a "Chinese state-sponsored group" it claimed was using Claude's coding tool to try and infiltrate 30 global targets. This report claims "the threat actor was able to use AI to perform 80-90% of the campaign", but that assertion has since faced scepticism.
As reported by Ars Technica, Dan Tentler, cofounder of internet security company Phobos Group, recently took to Mastodon to share their thoughts on this claim. After saying they'd like to see logs to verify this campaign, they cast doubts upon the veracity of the claim, saying, "Why do the models give these attackers what they want 90% of the time but the rest of us have to deal with asskissing, stonewalling and acid trips?"
