Russian State-Sponsored Hackers Use Claude to Rebuild Malware After Detection
Anthropic disrupted APT29-linked GTG-20006, which used Claude to autonomously rebuild malware, hijack hotel Wi-Fi DNS, and target 20-plus Ukrainian, European, and US-linked organizations.
Anthropic attributed the campaign to GTG-20006, aligned with Midnight Blizzard (APT29/Cozy Bear), which developed an AI-driven process that monitors its implants against security products and autonomously rebuilds and redeploys detected malware. Targets included military intelligence, diplomatic, and defense organizations in Ukraine and Europe, plus Middle East and Asian maritime agencies; the actor compromised at least three hotel Wi-Fi vendors via DNS hijacking and served ClickFix lures delivering Windows, Android, and iOS malware such as PowerChrome, GiftDrop, and DarkSword. Operations also included a North African breach exfiltrating over 300,000 national identity records and 500,000-plus company registry entries, an Embassy Kit device-code phishing campaign stealing Microsoft 365 tokens from at least eight organizations, and WhatsApp account takeover using headless browsers. The campaign overlaps with CaptiveCrunch reporting from ReliaQuest, Microsoft, Google, and Lumen Black Lotus Labs.

US says Chinese firms extracted billions of tokens from frontier AI models
CISA, NSA, and FBI say six Chinese AI firms including DeepSeek industrial-scale distilled Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and xAI frontier models.
A joint CISA, NSA, and FBI advisory accuses DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, Alibaba, MiniMax, StepFun, and Z.AI of extracting billions of tokens from frontier models via millions of API requests since late 2024. The agencies assess the operations likely had Chinese government awareness and represent a core development strategy. Tactics included fraudulent shared accounts, provider failover, proxy routing, and chain-of-thought extraction across Claude, GPT, Gemini, and Grok models.
