🚨APPLE SPENT 5 YEARS AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS BUILDING THE MOST ADVANCED SECURITY SYSTEM IN CONSUMER HISTORY.. AN AI BROKE IT IN 5 DAYS..

Here’s what just happened..

Apple built something called Memory Integrity Enforcement for its new M5 chips.. It’s a hardware-level security system that attaches secret cryptographic tags to every piece of memory.. If a hacker tries to access memory they shouldn’t.. The chip blocks it instantly..

Every known exploit chain against iOS and macOS was rendered obsolete overnight.. Apple said so themselves..

Then a small team at a cybersecurity firm called Calif used Anthropic’s unreleased Claude Mythos Preview to find vulnerabilities in the macOS kernel..

The AI found the bugs almost instantly.. Because once it learned the pattern of a specific type of flaw.. It could recognize every other flaw in that same class across the entire codebase..

What used to take elite security teams months.. The AI did in hours..

Within 5 days.. The team had a fully working exploit that escalated a basic user account to full root access on an M5 Mac running the latest macOS..

With MIE fully enabled.. The billion-dollar hardware defense running at full strength..

The trick.. They didn’t fight the hardware.. They went around it..

MIE is designed to catch memory corruption.. Hackers trying to overwrite pointers or inject code.. The team used a “data-only” approach instead.. They manipulated legitimate data structures the hardware was never designed to monitor.. Like changing an internal flag from “standard user” to “admin”..

The chip saw a perfectly normal operation.. The operating system obeyed.. And the attacker had total control..

The hardware thought everything was fine.. Because technically it was.. The exploit never triggered a single tag mismatch..

They walked into Apple Park and hand-delivered a 55-page report..

Apple patched it in macOS 26.5.. And for the first time ever.. Apple’s official security advisory credited the vulnerability discovery to “Calif dot io in collaboration with Claude and Anthropic Research”..

An AI is now credited in Apple’s CVE patches..

But here’s what makes this story truly terrifying..

Before MIE existed.. An exploit kit called DarkSword was hitting iPhones with zero-click attacks.. Six vulnerabilities chained together.. Total device control just from visiting a webpage.. Deployed by Russian espionage groups, Turkish surveillance vendors, and actors in Saudi Arabia..

Then it got leaked on GitHub.. Nation-state capabilities.. Free for anyone..

MIE was supposed to make all of that impossible..

And an AI found a way around it in 5 days..

The previous model.. Claude Opus 4.6.. Found 22 security bugs in the Firefox codebase.. Claude Mythos Preview found 271 in the same environment.. A tenfold increase..

Linux kernel CVEs jumped from 300 per year to over 5,500.. Largely driven by AI-powered vulnerability research..

The IMF designated Claude Mythos as a systemic financial stability risk.. Because if an AI finds a flaw in software used by every major bank simultaneously.. It could trigger a cascading financial crisis..

Anthropic knew this was coming.. That’s why they didn’t release the model publicly.. Instead they launched Project Glasswing.. Giving defensive access to AWS, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Nvidia, CrowdStrike, JPMorgan, and others..

$100 million in usage credits.. So defenders can scan their own systems before attackers get this capability..

The Pentagon blacklisted Anthropic over autonomous weapons.. Then quietly started using Mythos to harden government systems anyway..

The cybersecurity arms race just changed permanently..

Hardware can’t save you.. Software can’t save you.. The only defense against an AI that finds vulnerabilities is another AI that finds them first..

Five years and billions of dollars..

Five days and one AI.

Read this slowly.

In 2020 the Bank of England created money at the push of a button.

They bought government bonds at £100.

Today they sold them for £23.41.

Half a billion pounds. Gone before lunch.

They printed it. They lost it. They billed you.

Paid from your wage. Your tax. Your blood and sweat.

They handed every UK household a £7,000 bill. You did not see it because they hid it in your tax.

You did not push the button.

You will pay anyway.

This is theft.

@grok @avfcbreaking @FabrizioRomano @BeanymanSports @grok where man city not found to have paid supporters to attend games that were televised in the past?

[JP Megarity @jp_megarity]

@grok @avfcbreaking @FabrizioRomano @BeanymanSports @grok which team is total crap in terms of supporters between this group and which club's fans have been paid to attend game due to their poor fanbase

A day to remember for the Carrick family! 🥰

[United Zone @ManUnitedZone]

Arsene Wenger on Man United: “Where Arsenal lacked was patience & technical cohesion which #mufc had. The way they play is convincing. Usually it’s the home team who win at 2-2. I must congratulate Carrick- he has created something.”

Incredible what a difference two weeks makes. United fans taking their time getting home in Kings Cross area and rightly savouring a fabulous win. A mate said the away end at Arsenal was the best since 2009 SF. Early days still but mood the polar opposite of post-Brighton. #mufc

Knowing when stages come to an end.

Knowing when to say goodbye when you feel that you will be remembered and respected forever.

Four months to give my all for this badge and for our goal.

Eternal respect and affection for Manchester United and its wonderful fans.

Forever Red Devil.

ℹ️ @Casemiro will depart United at the end of the season, upon the expiry of his contract.

A serial winner, we thank Case for his contributions in red so far and hope to finish his time at the club on a high together 🙏🔴
