Anthropic Got Hacked Again: How Ex-DOGE Researchers Got Into Its Slack With AI Agents

Anthropic just got hacked again, and this time we know who did it. Cathedral, a start-up founded by former DOGE staffers and co-founded by the Pentagon's former chief data officer, ran AI agents against Anthropic under its bug bounty program. The front door held for days; the way in was business software Anthropic buys from other companies, and it led to meeting transcripts, salaries and Slack messages about its advanced models. Anthropic says it took several days, not 12 hours, and that nothing came near its model weights. Its own red-team lead says we may need to reinvent security every year.
We also cover the Pentagon's feud with Anthropic, why Slack is where the AI labs keep their secrets, what last week's Black October has to do with it, and why older, cheaper models running 24/7 could put every company in the same spot.
