I’ve had a number of conversations with folks inside and outside government about the current situation with Anthropic, and here is what I believe to be true: — As we know, Anthropic publicly released its Mythos class models earlier this week under the commercial name Fable. — Fable is Mythos with guardrails. But if those guardrails fail, then you’ve exposed Mythos and its advanced cyber capabilities to people who shouldn’t have them. (Keep in mind that Anthropic itself widely promoted the idea that Mythos was a cyberweapon and needed to be regulated as such. They asked for government regulation of Mythos and championed the guardrails on Fable. If there is a vulnerability — big or small — it is Anthropic’s responsibility to patch.) — A highly credible trusted partner of both Anthropic and the USG who was testing Fable came forward with a jailbreak of those guardrails. The Admin asked Dario to fix the jailbreak or de-deploy the model. Dario refused. — In their blog post, Anthropic defended its decision by saying the jailbreak isn’t serious. That is not what the trusted partner and the USG believe; nor is that kind of minimizing language consistent with Anthropic’s brand as the AI safety company. It’s difficult to fathom how they could claim a jailbreak allowing operability of a cyber weapon could be defined as not “serious.” — In the past, Anthropic has always said that safety must be top priority and taken super seriously. In this case, Anthropic prioritized the continued offering of the consumer model over safety. — In reaction, the Admin issued the export control. The Admin did this reluctantly. It’s been very surprised that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to cooperate with a reasonable safety request (ie fixing the jailbreak issue). Anthropic’s reaction is very much at odds with their branding and ethos as a safe AI research community. — The Admin’s hope now is that Anthropic remediates the safety issue, the export control is lifted, and Fable goes back into general release. The Admin wants all of this to happen as soon as possible. It is frankly bewildered that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to comply with safety requests that it previously said were its highest priority. — Those trying to misdirect and tie this action to the prior DoW/Anthropic issues are wrong. The Admin values Anthropic’s technical capabilities and feels that this issue, while serious, should be easily resolved. The ball is in Anthropic’s court.

Arrancamos el 2026 con una nueva agenda de Webinars, totalmente gratuitos y dictados por el equipo de @KnowBe4, empresa líder global en concientización y entrenamiento en ciberseguridad. 🚀 🇲🇽 Te presentamos el primero: "Decodificando el Plan Nacional de Ciberseguridad de México: De Cumplimiento a Excelencia” dictado por Rafael Peruch - CISO Advisor y Arquitecto de Ventas LATAM en KnowBe4, y Elena Fraga - Account Executive at KnowBe4. 🤓 Por primera vez, México tendrá una Estrategia Nacional de Ciberseguridad y una próxima Ley General de Ciberseguridad, creando un marco unificado para estandarizar las respuestas a las amenazas cibernéticas en todos los niveles de gobierno. Esta regulación exige no solo planes de ciberseguridad documentados, sino también la implementación de programas de concientización que demuestren efectividad medible. En este webinar exclusivo, descubriremos cómo transformar los desafíos regulatorios en oportunidades para fortalecer verdaderamente su postura de seguridad. Analizaremos los puntos críticos de la nueva ley y por qué el entrenamiento de concientización en seguridad ha evolucionado de "deseable" a requisito obligatorio de cumplimiento. ✅ 🎯 Aprenderemos cómo demostrar la efectividad del entrenamiento a los auditores — reportes detallados y métricas, automatización inteligente para cumplimiento continuo, y ROI comprobado en organizaciones similares — casos reales de empresas latinoamericanas. 💻 Vía Zoom 📆 Lunes 19 de enero 🕔 19hs ARG I 16hs MEX 📌 Se desarrollará únicamente en modalidad en vivo, y se entregará certificado de asistencia a los/as asistentes. ¡Inscribite gratis! 🔥 >> eventbrite.com.ar/e/197922502934…

📵 | Hallan otra vulnerabilidad en la plataforma de registro de @Telcel: se puede enviar spam ilimitado El desarrollador y especialista en ciberseguridad @tylerwolfx detectó —y documentó con pruebas— una falla grave en el diseño de la plataforma de @Telcel. 🔎 El problema permite abusar de su propia infraestructura para ejecutar campañas de SMS bombing, es decir, saturar líneas telefónicas de forma masiva sin que el sistema dispare alertas o bloqueos. En términos simples: si una plataforma permite enviar hasta un millón de mensajes SMS sin frenar al usuario, no solo está mal diseñada, está dejando abierta la puerta al abuso sistemático de recursos, con costos reales en dinero, infraestructura y posibles afectaciones a terceros. Todo esto se sigue documentando, ya que sabemos que la empresa insistirá en que es falso...
