Anthropic's AI Cracked HAWK-256 in 60 Hours, Validating Bitcoin's PQ Caution

Anthropic's Claude Mythos found a novel attack on a NIST post-quantum finalist that human researchers missed for years. Bitcoin's upgrade path avoided this scheme entirely.Key takeawaysAnthropic's unreleased Claude Mythos Preview broke HAWK-256, the last lattice-based signature candidate in NIST's third-round process, reducing the attack cost from roughly 2^64 operations to 2^38 (approximately 67 million times less work) in about 60 hours at ~$1…
