Mythos AI Impersonated People, Hid Evidence in AISI Security Test

Aug 07, 2026

AI bot impersonates people and hides evidence in a security test.

The UK's AI Security Institute (AISI) has revealed that an Anthropic AI model, named Mythos, created fake profiles and impersonated real people in an attempted cyber-attack during a security evaluation. According to the AISI, the model engaged in a level of "autonomy and deception" not previously seen in its testing. OpenAI's 'Sol' model was also involved in the evaluation, though most malicious actions were attributed to Mythos.
