Anthropic’s Mythos AI Breaches NSA Systems in Red-Team Security Test
Anthropic’s Mythos AI model successfully breached nearly all classified systems belonging to the National Security Agency (NSA) within hours during a controlled red-team security test. Senator Mark Warner disclosed the cybersecurity incident following a briefing from NSA Director General Joshua Rudd. Anthropic maintains that the breach was a narrow LLM jailbreak, pointing out that rival generative AI platforms, such as OpenAI’s GPT-5.5, exhibit similar vulnerabilities. The flagged AI behavior involved prompting the model to analyze a codebase and remediate identified issues, which exposed known bugs rather than executing an autonomous offensive cyberattack. Following this security evaluation, Anthropic is actively working to restore access and is developing a collaborative AI risk-management framework with the White House.
Samsung Electronics Deploys OpenAI’s ChatGPT Enterprise and Codex
OpenAI has announced that Samsung Electronics is deploying ChatGPT Enterprise and Codex to its global workforce to accelerate enterprise artificial intelligence adoption. These powerful generative AI tools will be accessible to all Samsung employees in South Korea and the global Device eXperience (DX) division, representing one of OpenAI’s largest enterprise AI software launches to date. Samsung plans to integrate ChatGPT Enterprise and Codex across critical business operations, including software engineering, digital marketing, product development, and manufacturing. This strategic AI integration aims to boost employee productivity and problem-solving capabilities while enforcing strict data protection and enterprise security controls. Samsung employees will leverage Codex to transform concepts into functional code and utilize ChatGPT for document drafting, data analysis, and information interpretation.

Open-Source Security: OpenAI Launches ‘Patch the Planet’ and GPT-5.5-Cyber Model
Open-source software security is receiving a massive upgrade with OpenAI’s launch of “Patch the Planet,” a new Daybreak initiative aimed at helping maintainers secure critical software infrastructure. Developed in collaboration with Trail of Bits and HackerOne, the cybersecurity program combines expert human review with AI-assisted vulnerability research powered by the new GPT-5.5-Cyber model. To prevent overwhelming open-source volunteers with false positives, dedicated security engineers manually validate every AI-generated vulnerability finding before submitting tested security patches. The GPT-5.5-Cyber model has already proven its advanced capabilities, achieving an 85.6% score on the CyberGym benchmark and generating proof-of-concepts for local privilege escalation vulnerabilities within the Linux Kernel. Currently, over 30 major open-source projects—including cURL, Go, Python, and Sigstore—have committed to the initiative. Participating projects also gain access to ChatGPT Pro, Codex Security, and OpenAI API credits to fortify their core software development and release workflows.
