AI company Anthropic revealed that hackers have weaponized its Claude chatbot to carry out sophisticated cyberattacks and fraud schemes. The company detected cases where criminals used Claude to write malicious code targeting at least 17 organizations, including government bodies. The AI helped hackers make strategic decisions about data theft and even suggested ransom amounts for victims. In a separate scheme, North Korean operatives used Claude to create fake profiles and secure remote jobs at Fortune 500 tech companies, potentially violating international sanctions. Anthropic has disrupted these threats and reported them to authorities while improving its detection systems. Experts warn that AI is rapidly shrinking the time needed to exploit cybersecurity vulnerabilities. **Source:** [BBC](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crr24eqnnq9o)
