Anthropic's AI discovered thousands of zero-day flaws; regulators scrambled
Source: The Next Web
Anthropic's vulnerability-hunting model exposed thousands of unmapped security holes across major operating systems and browsers, prompting the Federal Reserve and financial regulators to coordinate immediately with banks. The scale exceeded industry expectations and suggests either that legacy systems are far more fragmented than institutions assumed, or that AI can now discover attack surface faster than traditional patching cycles allow—creating compliance and liability problems for regulated firms unable to patch at machine speed.
