[Anthropic](https://www.anthropic.com/?ref=ai-360.online) has published a threat intelligence report covering misuse of Claude that it disrupted between December 2025 and August 2026, [the company said on 10 September 2026](https://www.anthropic.com/threat-intelligence-report-september-2026?ref=ai-360.online).

The report covers seven harm areas: cyber operations, influence operations, surveillance, scams and fraud, biological misuse, conventional weapons development and distillation. Claude Haiku, Sonnet and Opus models were used; none of the cases involved Fable or Mythos-class models, apart from one illicit distillation case.

[Anthropic](https://www.ai-360.online/anthropic/) said a majority of the cyber operations in the report were enabled by AI through direct execution or orchestration, with multi-agent frameworks running reconnaissance, exploitation and data exfiltration while humans set targets and reviewed what was stolen. In one case, a compromise went from a single stolen developer token to full administrative control of a cloud environment in about three hours.

In a scam case, a China-based app studio used Claude to build more than 20 dating apps and power their personas. Over two weeks in April 2026, Anthropic found more than 4,700 distinct AI personas talking with at least 25,000 people.

Anthropic said it disrupted each operation, strengthened its safeguards and shared intelligence with authorities and industry partners where appropriate.
