   Anthropic launches OSS Scanner, free AI security scans for open source

   Anthropic has launched OSS Scanner, an opt-in service that gives open-source projects free, periodic security scans from its strongest models, including Claude Mythos; reports are fully model-generated with no human review or triage. Anthropic says six months of scanning surfaced over 29,000 candidate vulnerabilities while only about 6,000 could be human-reviewed, and it has already sent nearly 5,000 unverified reports after maintainers requested bulk delivery. In a spot check of 97 critical and high-severity findings across 48 projects, 88% met its coordinated vulnerability disclosure bar, though the company acknowledges reports may be wrong or over-rated.

   Hacker behind South Korean bank attacks used LLMs and ARTEX, CrowdStrike says

   CrowdStrike Intelligence says it identified infrastructure tied to a targeted campaign against South Korean financial organizations that resulted in exfiltrated data. The analysis assesses the actor is likely Chinese-speaking and financially motivated, and used LLMs along with the open-source Chinese agentic tool ARTEX.

   Dan Ives relaunches tech coverage, bullish on Nvidia and AI's 'third inning'

   Well-known tech bull Dan Ives left Wedbush Securities after nearly eight years to launch the newly formed Yorkville Ives, where he restarted tech equity research with an Outperform rating on all 49 stocks he initiated on. He argues AI infrastructure supply will stay constrained at least through 2027 and that the market underestimates a coming wave of as much as $4 trillion in AI spending, likening the AI buildout to the third inning of a baseball game. His top five picks for 2027 are Nvidia, Microsoft, Palantir, Apple and CrowdStrike, with initial price targets of $400 for Alphabet and Apple, $300 for Amazon, $900 for Meta, $615 for Microsoft, $300 for Nvidia, $500 for Tesla and $225 for SpaceX.

   ARTEX developer closes source after CrowdStrike links agent to South Korean bank hacks

   Since late September, South Korean financial firms have suffered a string of cyberattacks and data leaks, prompting the country's financial regulator to hold an emergency meeting and demand an investigation; CrowdStrike said on October 7 that suspected China-linked hackers were combining AI with penetration-testing tools. According to Reuters, the Chinese developer of the AI agent ARTEX — which was identified as being used to hack South Korean banks — said it has converted the project to closed source.

   Anthropic launches Cyber Mission, CIDP for critical infrastructure, free OSS Scanner

   Anthropic launched the Anthropic Cyber Mission, a long-term commitment to securing critical infrastructure and open-source software. Its first piece, the Critical Infrastructure Defense Program, brings frontier Claude models, on-site engineers and threat research to a founding cohort of providers — Accenture, Booz Allen, CrowdStrike, Deloitte, Dragos, Hitachi, Insane Cyber, Nozomi Networks, Palo Alto Networks, PwC and Rockwell Automation — that defend the operational technology behind power grids, water systems and transportation networks. The second piece, OSS Scanner, is a free opt-in service that periodically scans open-source projects with Anthropic's strongest models and sends model-generated reports containing a proof of concept, an explanation and a suggested fix, without human review; Anthropic expects a true-positive rate above 90%. Anthropic also said Project Glasswing was merged this week into its expanded Cyber Verification Program.

   CrowdStrike links South Korean bank breaches to AI tool ARTEX, Claude Code

   A CrowdStrike report published Oct. 7 says a likely Chinese-speaking, financially motivated attacker breached multiple South Korean financial institutions between late September and early October 2026, stealing large amounts of customer data — about 25,000 Shinhan Bank records alone, including names, contact details, income and credit limits. The report says the attacker used ARTEX, a free Chinese open-source autonomous penetration-testing tool built on AI language models, along with Anthropic's Claude Code; chat logs left on the attacker's servers included searches for where to sell the stolen data. President Lee Jae Myung ordered a thorough investigation, and police opened a formal probe on Oct. 6 covering seven financial firms.
