Kraken Parent Payward Joins Glasswing, Gets Access to Claude Mythos to Hunt Security Flaws

In brief

• Kraken parent Payward has joined Anthropic’s Project Glasswing and is using Claude Mythos 5 for cybersecurity.
• The company said Mythos 5 will scan its systems for vulnerabilities, with findings reviewed and patched through its existing security program.
• Project Glasswing gives vetted organizations access to Anthropic’s cyber-capable AI models for defensive security work.

Kraken parent company Payward has joined Anthropic’s Project Glasswing and is using Claude Mythos to hunt for security flaws.

The move follows an open letter from over 40 Bitcoin and crypto companies, including Kraken, sent last week to Anthropic, OpenAI, and other leading AI labs demanding frontier labs open trusted-access programs to qualified defenders to help guard against threats.

Payward said Monday that the company will use Mythos 5 to scan its systems for vulnerabilities, with findings sent to its security teams for review. It’s the first reported crypto company to join the project and gain access to Claude Mythos 5.

“Selection gives Payward’s security division early access to the same class of model, sharpening its ability to combat sophisticated software vulnerabilities and protect millions of customers across the globe,” Payward wrote.
