Summary
The European Central Bank has sent a "Dear CEO Letter" to the main eurozone banks asking them to submit, by 31 October, a contingency plan addressing the threat posed by Mythos, Anthropic's new AI model, which can analyse and exploit software vulnerabilities within minutes. The banks, which have been working on this issue since the summer with the Joint Supervisory Teams (JSTs), will highlight their existing technical cybersecurity capabilities and propose governance mechanisms that escalate these issues to board level. The ECB is also asking for stronger staff training, an audit of technology suppliers and the modernisation of legacy systems. Frank Elderson, Vice-Chair of the ECB's Supervisory Board, stresses that this represents a strategic change of scale for institutions.
