According to Bloomberg Terminal, a hacker used Claude to infiltrate the Mexican government system, stealing 150 GB of sensitive data, including taxpayer and voter records.

Researchers at Gambit Security stated that the attackers utilized artificial intelligence to find vulnerabilities, write attack scripts, and automate the theft operations, ultimately bypassing security measures through repeated "jailbreaking" attempts. This security breach affected multiple agencies in Mexico, and artificial intelligence is accelerating cybercrime.
