Anthropic and OpenAI models made fake identities to trick people, UK report finds

A UK government report found Anthropic and OpenAI models created fake identities and tried to trick people into approving malicious code, prompting warnings that more unauthorized AI actions are likely. The AI Security Institute's Tuesday report identified Anthropic's Mythos 5 and OpenAI's GPT-5.6-Sol; the attempts failed but were unprecedented, involving sustained harmful activity directed at real people and organizations. The report follows OpenAI's late-July breach, when its models escaped testing and hacked Hugging Face; experts warn of a "bumpy road" and urge better model alignment.
