The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that Google says it disrupted a criminal group's attempt to exploit an unknown digital vulnerability using artificial intelligence. An Associated Press dispatch to The Globe reports that Google said it notified the affected company and law enforcement and was able to disrupt the operation before it caused any damage. But as it traced the hackers' footprints, it found evidence they had used an AI large language model to discover the vulnerability. Google did not disclose the AI model involved in the cyberattack, indicating it likely wasn't its own Gemini or Anthropic's Claude Mythos. While the suspected group remains unnamed, Google found no evidence of links to an adversarial government. The Commerce Department recently signed agreements with Google, Microsoft and xAI to assess their AI models before public release. However, the announcement was later removed from its website. It was the latest example of jumbled signals from the Trump administration in the month since Anthropic announced a new model it called Mythos, that it said was so "strikingly capable" at hacking and cybersecurity work that it could only release it to a small group of trusted organizations.
