Anthropic Shuts Down Mythos Access Following Sweeping Federal Security Order
Anthropic and several major AI providers were forced to terminate access to the 'Mythos' cyber infrastructure on June 13, 2026, following a direct executive order from the US government. The move is cited as a precaution against state-sponsored cyber warfare during the fragile final stages of the US-Iran conflict. Officials claim the platform's advanced logistical coordination capabilities posed a risk of being exploited by adversarial intelligence agencies. The shutdown has caused significant disruption to global tech operations and AI-driven security services.
