If they didn't work with mythos those 271 zero days would be impacting everyone for the indefinite future...

‘fixes’ problem it created

yay!

It didn't create the problem. These are existing high severity exploits

that nobody knew of and most with no way to exploit…

Nobody knew of publicly, that's the whole point of a zero day

These things get found and sold and used in secret for months or years before the public find and patch

you act like every exploit gives you a terminal

and do you really believe that the blue team for these companies does not have a presence on these forums trading these exploits there's a reason most the big shit is either social eng or an insider threat

Everyone has the assumption that they were high severity, but neither Mozilla nor Anthropic even claimed so

Most of them were either:

  • firefox vulnerabilities that only apply with sandbox specifically disabled
  • not actually discovered by mythos and instead involved a researcher guiding mythos to the vulnerabilities, not the other way around

Nearly all of the reporting on this subject is pure misinformation that contradicts the papers that were released
