Anthropic itself has cautioned the system could be misused and has limited deployment to a small test group of companies.<\/p>\n<p>Reuters reported that ECB banking supervisors have already begun questioning eurozone banks about their preparedness for a new generation of AI-driven cyber threats, while the European Commission said earlier this week it had been briefed by Anthropic on Mythos\u2019 capabilities and is assessing potential implications for EU regulations and policy. Lagarde added that a state-sponsored attack would be more likely given the substantial computing power required to operate such systems.<\/p>\n<p>\n                Section: Standard<br \/>Word Count: 297<br \/>Copyright Holder: CUToday.info<br \/>Copyright Year: 2026<br \/>Is Based On: <br \/>URL: https:\/\/www.cutoday.info\/Fresh-Today\/ECB-Developing-Countermeasures-Against-Potential-Mythos-Driven-Attacks<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FRANKFURT, Germany\u2014The European Central Bank is studying how to defend against potential cyberattacks powered by Anthropic\u2019s AI model&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":64892,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[141],"tags":[448,38113,38115,38116,7801,38114],"class_list":{"0":"post-64907","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-christine-lagarde","8":"tag-christine-lagarde","9":"tag-cms","10":"tag-content-management","11":"tag-development-framework","12":"tag-e-commerce","13":"tag-publish"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@people\/116550378699106870","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64907","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64907"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64907\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/64892"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64907"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64907"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64907"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
