We're publishing our most detailed threat intelligence report to date.
It covers how people tried to misuse Claude—for cyberattacks, influence operations, surveillance, biology, and building weapons—and how we found and stopped them.
We disrupted every operation in the report, and used the lessons from them to strengthen our safeguards. Where appropriate, we also shared what we found with authorities and other AI companies.
These cases are not typical: we’re highlighting some of the most sophisticated misuse we’ve seen. But they’re especially important to discuss, because they show us where AI misuse is headed, where our safeguards work, and where they need to improve.
We’re publishing this report so others can spot the same activity on their own platforms, and so we can give the public a clearer view of how emerging threats develop.

Met several childhood friends this week.
Shocked by how many ave up on their ambition and are now housewives. And I'm talking about the ones we called prodigies.
Same story for everyone. At some point they evaluated that what they're earning is a meaningless amount compared to their partners' family business income. So they stopped working.
This is terrible short-term thinking.
Long back I read Erich Fromm, who explained the primitive psychology behind every parent-child relationship that I believe applies here too.
He argued that beneath the love that parent and child feel for each other, there is a transaction at play.
The exchange of security for obedience.
Parents give security, and in exchange expect obedience, even if they consciously think otherwise.
Parents who 'feel' they aren't providing enough are more liberal. The ones who 'feel' they have, demand compliance.
Apply this to a marriage where one partner earns and the other doesn't.
- the earning partner accumulates unconscious authority, sometimes without wanting it.
- the non-earning partner begins to self-limit- opinions soften, needs minimize, disagreements are swallowed.
Love remains real but underneath it, the exchange of security and obedience creeps in.
It doesn't start as that transaction, it becomes one.
The earning partner may never demand obedience and may even actively discourage it. But the non-earning partner's psyche has already done the math.
I strongly believe that each individual should work, even if you're making what feels like a meaningless amount. Do it simply to keep for your sense of independence and freedom.
If someone initiates an uncomfortable conversation instead of avoiding you, it’s often a sign of respect and investment in the relationship. Most people will prioritize their own comfort and avoid taking a positive risk rather than endure a little awkwardness to repair a rupture.
this bit from the joe rogan episode with quentin tarantino and roger avary really resonated with me
tarantino shares how he lost sight of his dream in his 20s, and seeing a colleague hitting 30 made him realize his mistake. sharing for anyone who is feeling lost in their 20s:
Out of nowhere, @AkasaAir rescheduled my flight from 10:35 AM to 9:45 PM — that’s a delay of over 3 hours! They claim to have sent an alert, but I never received any notification. I urgently need to reach BLR, and @AkasaAir should be facilitating alternate travel.
You're allowed to be motivated by money.
Scratch that, you are motivated by money. But you hide it because your parents, teachers, and peers convinced you it was a bad thing to pursue.
You work, right now, for money, to survive.
Don't apologize for wanting to live well.
