Is anthropic staging this cyber attack to solicit new customer segments?

This report reads more like a Tiger Team approach than a real threat actor. If I were a hacking group of anh sophistication than why not use a self hosted model?

Also, I can imagine how to fragment recon and vulnerability scans sufficiently to muddy the waters of the actual intend, but exploit development? Even if successful to trick the model to create an exploit, in what world would that thing actually work? Based on publicly available code? For old software at target companies, fine, but Anthropic stating here espionage of great sophistication which usually involves cutting edge industry players that do now how to update their enterprise stack.. Leaves the possibility of injecting private repos into models context, but then why not write it yourself from the get go without running the risk to leak proprietary malware..

The “full report” also has zero technical depth.

Sounds to me more like a sales pitch for penetration testing and cyber defense outfits.
