Anthropic caught Russia-linked spies using Claude in hacking operations

Anthropic identified and disrupted a Russia-linked cyber-espionage group that leveraged Claude in a campaign against more than 20 government, intelligence, diplomatic, and defense organizations. The company detected the unauthorized use and took action to halt the operations.

Why it matters: Government and defense institutions worldwide need to audit their security posture and monitor for lateral movement or data exfiltration by a known nation-state threat actor using large language models to augment reconnaissance and exploitation capabilities.
