Anthropic Finds 67% of Banned AI Accounts Used for Cyberattack Prep

What happened: Anthropic analyzed 832 accounts banned for policy violations between March 2025 and March 2026, finding that 67% (560 accounts) used AI to write malware or otherwise prepare for cyberattacks. The share of medium- or higher-risk actors rose from 33% to 56% over the study period. The report also details how a Chinese state-sponsored group (GTG-1002) used Anthropic's Claude Code to automate 80–90% of a cyber-espionage campaign before being disrupted in late 2025.

Why it matters: The findings illustrate the rapid adoption of AI tools by malicious actors, eroding traditional skill barriers and enabling more sophisticated attacks. While the report covers only Anthropic's platform, it underscores the broader challenge facing AI providers and cybersecurity professionals as AI-driven threats become more prevalent and automated.
