I just saw that Bitcoin recently plummeted to 66k, and the reason has to do with a significant leak in the AI world. It turns out Anthropic exposed internal documents about their new model, called Mythos, and the incident caused panic in the tech sector.

The interesting part is that it wasn't just Bitcoin that dropped. Cybersecurity stocks also tanked: Palo Alto Networks, Crowdstrike, and Fortinet fell between 4% and 6%. The software ETF also retreated around 2.5%. All connected to the same issue.

The Mythos documents warn of serious cybersecurity risks. The model apparently has the ability to identify and exploit software vulnerabilities very quickly, which scares investors. It seems Anthropic was testing this Mythos with a small group of clients, but about 3,000 internal files ended up on a publicly accessible server.

The Mythos leak was enough to move markets. When AI becomes perceived as a threat, traders move quickly.
