Chinese Cybersecurity Firm's AI Tool Sparks Debate Over Vulnerability Discovery
360 Digital Security Group, a Chinese cybersecurity firm, claims its AI-driven tool has discovered nearly 1,000 software vulnerabilities, drawing comparisons to Anthropic's Claude Mythos. The firm's Multi-Agent Collaborative Vulnerability Discovery System reportedly contributed to its success in a major Chinese hacking contest. However, experts caution that the tool may not match the reasoning capabilities claimed by Anthropic's system. Some of 360's vulnerability claims are disputed, and China's legal requirement to report vulnerabilities to state agencies is seen as giving its firms a structural advantage in cybersecurity research.
