Anthropic said it banned accounts and disrupted misuse after finding Claude helped adversaries build drones, surveillance tools and dangerous virus research.
- After tracking activity for eight months, Anthropic released a report identifying state-linked actors exploiting its Claude model for cyber operations, domestic surveillance, and weapons development.
- Operators in Mali and Yemen utilized Claude in separate cases to engineer a surveillance platform monitoring about 25 million SIM cards and develop software for guided rockets.
