Behavioral biometrics: How to detect non-human threat actors | TechTarget
As Anthropic's Mythos model makes clear, AI is a cybersecurity game changer. When released in preview, Mythos proved unexpectedly effective in finding and exploiting bugs in software. Anthropic says the preview release found more than 10,000 critical vulnerabilities across every operating system and application it encountered. In addition to exposing the bugs, Mythos was able to execute an attack chain around each one, including the full attack lifecycle: reconnaissance, exploit and lateral movement.
Mythos isn't alone. Other AIs have been shown to operate autonomously to generate attacks. The "Jadepuffer" attack discovered in early July 2026, for example, executed a complete ransomware and extortion operation driven end-to-end by an LLM -- no human required.
AI-enabled attacks
It's clear that AI poses an unprecedented threat to cybersecurity. But it's important to note that AI-enabled attacks aren't a separate category of attack; they're classical attacks at unprecedented speed, scale and mutability....
