What OpenAI’s open letter means for teams running lean.
August 28, 2026 L. Travis
OpenAI just published an open letter , co-signed by Anthropic, Google, and more than 120 other organizations, warning that the window to prepare for AI-enabled attacks is closing rapidly.
We’ll say it: we called this one.
Our July report, Cybercrime in the age of AI, explains that organizations have about six months before cybercriminals get easy access to AI models as good as Mythos , the AI model Anthropic refused to release in April because it was so good at finding security vulnerabilities its maker was concerned it could “reshape cybersecurity.”
What you do in that window will dictate how you fare in this new reality.
