alt Hacker NewsThat's not quite true, even a year ago LLMs were finding vulnerabilities, especially when paired with an agent harness and lots of compute. And even before that security researchers have been shouting about systemic fragility.
Mythos certainly represents a big increase in exploitation capability, and we should have anticipated this coming.
A lot of those bugs were found by seasoned developers and security professionals though. Anthropic claims that Mythos is finding vulns from people who have no security background, who just typed "hey, go find a vulnerability in X", went home for the night, and came back the next morning with a PoC ready. They could definitely be an exaggerating, but if it's true that's a very different threat category which is worth paying attention to.
