By [email protected] (The Hacker News)
AI Summary
Anthropic's threat report identified seven China-based AI labs — including Alibaba, Moonshot, DeepSeek, Z.ai (Zhipu), and MiniMax — conducting industrial-scale 'distillation attacks' against Claude, using Claude as a teacher model to illicitly train their own competing AI systems. Separately, Anthropic reported that Claude was abused to extract secrets from 1.8 million Android apps, with financially motivated and state-sponsored groups linked to Russia and China implicated. The distillation attacks represent a novel form of AI intellectual property theft with direct implications for AI model security.
