What a Foiled Cyberattack Tells Us About How Ai Is Changing How We Work
On 13 November 2025, Anthropic, a company that, in its own words, builds AI agents to “study their safety properties at the technological frontier”, released a report claiming it had disr upted a major nation-state cyber-espionage operation that co-opted its services to execute the attack. The full report is fascinating, and you should read it because it shows how AI is already changing how knowledge workers operate. The headline claim is that a group Anthropic believes is Chinese state-sponsored co-opted Claude to run a cyber campaign at scale, with far fewer personnel than would be possible without modern AI tooling.
