US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, alongside Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, swiftly organized an emergency meeting with Wall Street's top executives. The urgency stemmed from concerns that large-scale models, such as Mythos—recently launched by artificial intelligence firm Anthropic PBC—could amplify cyber threats. The primary objective of the meeting was to ensure that banks are fully aware of the potential risks involved and implement proactive measures to mitigate them. The fact that this meeting was called on short notice and in an ad-hoc manner underscores the perception among regulatory bodies that emerging forms of cyberattacks pose a significant risk to the financial sector. All banks invited to the meeting are classified as systemically important financial institutions. Anthropic has clarified that Mythos possesses the capability to detect and exploit security flaws in widely used operating systems and web browsers.
