Bessent and Powell Summon Wall Street CEOs to Emergency Meeting Over Anthropic's Mythos Cyber Risks

CNBC·high signal

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell convened an urgent meeting with CEOs of Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley at Treasury headquarters to discuss cybersecurity risks posed by Anthropic's Mythos model. Mythos can rapidly identify decades-old software vulnerabilities — including a 27-year-old OpenBSD flaw — and craft sophisticated exploits, raising fears of systemic risk to the U.S. financial system. JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon was the only major banking CEO who could not attend; Anthropic has committed $100M in free credits via Project Glasswing to help secure critical infrastructure.
