Summary

Claude Mythos AI discovered a novel attack vector that bypassed Apple's M5 chip defense system in five days at a cost of $35K, producing a 55-page report delivered to Apple. The exploit poisons data ingested by the chip, evading Apple's MIE system.

claude mythos just broke Apple's $2 billion defense system. it did so by discovering a completely different attack vector to break in only took it 5 days costing ~$35K of mythos api time (the same exploit class costs $5-10M on grey market) the researchers that commandeered the exploit produced a 55-page report that was delivered to Apple HQ in-person (hoping they release it after patching). most shocking part for me is apple's MIE worked as intended. mythos just discovered a new way to side-step it entirely by poisoning the data the M5 chip ingested. at this point i think we have to accept that mythos walks the walk. As the anthropic red-team explicitly confirmed this week - this is NOT a compute resource issue. its national defense.
