Anthropic Mythos leaked via unsecured cache before announcement — company says it poses unprecedented cybersecurity risks

The real story is not that Mythos exists — everyone knew Anthropic was training something bigger. The story is that it leaked via an unsecured data cache, which means either their internal security posture has gaps or someone wanted this out early to front-run the IPO narrative. Anthropic themselves calling it an unprecedented cybersecurity risk is either honest transparency or the most effective marketing play in AI history. You do not normally tell the world your product is dangerous before you ship it. Unless danger IS the product positioning.
