Anthropic Security Report: Russian Freelancers Built A Kamikaze Drone Swarm With Claude Code

Today's AI news: Anthropic published its most detailed threat intelligence report yet, covering misuse disrupted between December 2025 and August 2026, including likely freelance Russian actors using Claude Code to build an autonomous FPV kamikaze drone swarm, a Mali state-intelligence surveillance platform over roughly 25 million SIM cards, a Yemen-based guided-weapons cell, and distillation attacks from seven China-based labs. OpenAI added a Data agent to ChatGPT Work that builds interactive dashboards from company data. ElevenLabs released Music v2.5 with commercial rights on every plan. And a bionic robot arowana from Boya Gongdao is fooling everyone in Beijing.

ElevenLabs ships Music version 2.5 with commercial rights on every plan, and a Chinese robot fish that's fooling everyone. Here's today's AI news. Anthropic has published its most detailed threat intelligence report yet, covering misuse it disrupted between December and August across cyber, influence, surveillance, fraud, biology, weapons and distillation. The cases are grim. Likely freelance Russian actors used Claude Code to build a full-stack autonomous FPV kamikaze drone swarm. A consultant to Mali's state intelligence service used Claude as the primary engineering workforce for a platform monitoring roughly twenty-five million SIM cards designed to bypass the court-order requirement. A Yemen-based cell developed guidance software for guided rockets and a ballistic missile and seven labs based in China ran distillation attacks. Every case used Haiku, Sonnet or Opus. None touched Fable or Mythos. Boris Cherny, who leads Claude Code, called it terrifying and important. He's right on both counts. OpenAI has added a Data agent to ChatGPT Work. Install the Data plugin, connect the sources you already use, and ask questions in plain language: it investigates what changed in a metric, builds interactive dashboards you can share, and takes action, with no queries and no separate analytics tool. It connects to Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Redshift, ClickHouse, MongoDB and Datadog, and works alongside Power BI, Tableau, Sigma and ThoughtSpot. Admins install it from the plugin directory and control who can use it. One early customer rebuilt its performance dashboards in half an hour and found errors in the originals along the way. ElevenLabs has released Music v2.5, with richer melodies, instruments that sound closer to a live take and more depth in arrangements. It handles long-form compositions, mid-track genre transitions, rap, lyrics and vocals that sound native in your language, and it can turn an idea, a sound or a loop into a finished song. The commercial angle is the point: the model is trained on licensed catalogues, and ElevenLabs says you control what you make on every plan, including free, where you get five downloads a day with attribution. Two music model launches in two days. The labels have picked their partners. A video of a golden arowana swimming in a tank in Beijing has done three hundred thousand views today because it isn't a fish. It's a bionic robot from Boya Gongdao, a company in Beijing's economic development zone, sixty-nine centimetres long, silicone-bodied with a coating that mimics the shine of real scales, driven by what the company calls fish neuro-drive models and AI attitude control. Top speed just under two kilometres an hour, twelve hours on a charge, and head-mounted sonar to map its surroundings. It's marketed for education and research, but maybe that's not all this sneaky little robot will be used for.
