What happened: Cathedral, a cybersecurity startup founded by former DOGE staffers, says its AI agents found paths into Anthropic's internal systems in under 12 hours, per a draft report reviewed by the Washington Post. Why it matters: Anthropic disputes the scope and accuses Cathedral of breaking bug bounty rules and overstating national security implications.
