the U.S. government has issued an export control directive citing national security authority, requiring the suspension of all access for foreign nationals to Fable 5 and Mythos 5, including Anthropic’s foreign national employees. To ensure compliance, Anthropic must close all customer access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5, while all other Anthropic models remain unaffected.The U.S. government provided oral evidence indicating a potential narrow-scope, non-general jailbreak method for the model. Anthropic is complying with the government's legal directive and removing all user access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5, but disagrees with the decision to withdraw deployed commercial models based on the discovery of a narrow-scope potential jailbreak, and is working diligently to restore access as soon as possible.

Odaily Odaily, THORChain posted on platform X that its developers have released an incident update on Discord. Current evidence points to a node thor16uc...cn84q, which recently joined the network, as being associated with the attack. This node is operated by a single malicious actor. The primary hypothesis is that the attacker exploited a vulnerability in the GG20 TSS implementation, causing sensitive key material of vault participants to leak over time. This ultimately enabled the reconstruction of the vault's private key and the execution of unauthorized outgoing transactions.Regarding network status, the network has been paused after multiple node operators executed `make pause`. RUNE transfers and on-chain observation may resume within approximately 12 hours, but transactions, LP operations, signing, and other sensitive operations remain paused.Discussed recovery plans include slashing the affected node's bond, covering losses with protocol-owned liquidity (POL), or other community-driven solutions. THORSec and Outrider Analytics are continuing their investigation. The Treasury is gathering forensic data and coordinating with relevant law enforcement agencies. Full functional recovery is expected to take several days or longer.
