Anthropic disrupts Russian, Chinese AI campaigns targeting its Claude models

Artificial intelligence company Anthropic announced on Thursday that it disrupted multiple malicious campaigns targeting its Claude models over the past eight months. The operations included a suspected Russia-linked cyber espionage campaign as well as activity from seven China-based labs.

The actions highlight ongoing efforts by foreign actors to leverage advanced artificial intelligence systems for targeted cyber operations and information warfare. Anthropic's intervention underscores the security challenges facing major AI developers as malicious entities increasingly attempt to exploit commercial language models for espionage and other illicit purposes.
