Anthropic published its September threat intelligence report on 10 September, covering misuse of Claude disrupted between December 2025 and August 2026 across seven harm areas. It names Russia's Midnight Blizzard (tracked as GTG-20006) as having used Claude against more than 20 government, diplomatic and defence organisations; describes an exploit foundry run by Chinese undergraduates that targeted roughly fifty organisations and produced "more than a dozen possible zero day findings in a single month"; documents a French commercial influence-as-a-service operation that published at least 8,913 articles in about 20 languages across roughly 70 fabricated news sites; and reports five cases in which accounts were banned for biology work that could have supported weapons development.
