Anthropic, the AI company behind the Claude chatbot, says the technology has been “weaponised” by hackers to carry out sophisticated cyber attacks. The company says its tools were used by hackers “to commit large-scale theft and extortion of personal data.” In another case, North Korean scammers used Claude to fraudulently get remote jobs at top US companies. Anthropic says it was able to disrupt the threat actors and has reported the cases to the authorities along with improving its detection tools. Using AI to help write code has increased in popularity as the tech becomes more capable and accessible.
