How Did Anthropic Stop the Hacker?
Given the complicated nature of the attack and the industries that could have been impacted, it’s a good thing Anthropic was able to prevent this hack before it came to fruition. But how exactly did Anthropic stop these hackers in their tracks?
Well, for starters, Anthropic “banned the accounts in question as soon as we discovered this operation.”
“We have robust safeguards and multiple layers of defense for detecting this kind of misuse, but determined actors sometimes attempt to evade our systems through sophisticated techniques.” – Jacob Klein, head of threat intelligence for Anthropic to NBC News
On top of that, Anthropic has developed a new screening tool in hopes of spotting these kinds of nefarious actions earlier in the process, and the company also shared data with the authorities to help them prevent attacks in the future.
