The crypto community is concerned that the security mechanisms of Claude Fable 5, a subsidiary of Anthropic, could be exploited by hackers

According to Cointelegraph, Anthropic has released the first public version of the Claude Mythos model, Fable 5. Despite built-in safety barriers, cryptocurrency users are concerned that it may be used for malicious purposes. The model had previously been found to have over 10,000 high-risk vulnerabilities in "systemically important software." Anthropic stated that Fable 5 is now secure for general use, and the barriers will redirect topics like cybersecurity to other models.

Simon Dedic, founder of Moonrock Capital, warned that the cost and skill requirements for using Fable 5 to find smart contract vulnerabilities will "drop to virtually zero," making unaudited protocols targets, and known vulnerabilities will be continuously exploited. He advised users to revoke wallet authorizations, move assets out of protocols, and transfer to new hardware wallets.

Michael Egorov, co-founder of Curve, believes the threat is exaggerated, as the amount of smart contract code is only a few thousand lines. Humans and conventional AI can already reason sufficiently, and the real risks lie in operational security and supply chain attacks.
