Security Researchers, Aided By Anthropic's Mythos, Claim To Have Breached macOS
Apple's operating systems are known for their security, especially compared to their rivals in mobile and computing. Now, security researchers from a Palo Alto-based company called Calif claim they were able to breach macOS after designing a privilege escalation exploit with help from Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview. As The Wall Street Journal reports, the exploit could be used to access parts of the MacBook that should be inaccessible and, thus, allows the attacker to take control of a Mac computer.
The researchers worked with Mythos to identify the vulnerabilities and to help them with the exploit's development. Mythos Preview was able to identify the bugs quickly, because they belonged to known classes. Human expertise was still necessary to be able to design the exploit, but this shows advanced AI systems could unearth bugs and attack paths that were previously unknown and could be used by bad actors to stage...
