The U.S. cyber defense agency said on Wednesday that government ​officials now have three days to deal with the most ‌serious categories of digital vulnerabilities in their networks, a compressed timeline that is due in part to hackers’ use of artificial intelligence. The deadline, which was ​set in a new directive, opens new tab issued by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure ​Security Agency, obligates civilian federal agencies with vulnerable software ⁠or equipment to fix, disable, or remove it from the internet ​within three calendar days, depending on the severity of the threat. Many ​cyber experts worry that new, more advanced AI models along the lines of Anthropic’s Mythos are supercharging hackers’ abilities to take advantage of digital vulnerabilities across the internet, forcing tech ​workers to plug security holes almost as soon as they are ​discovered.
