Each company used networks of fraudulent accounts to extract reasoning traces from anthropic models for use as training data.

However, Anthropic also claimed that they had detected both DeepSeek and Kimi K3Maker Moonshot routing requests to Claude and serving the responses to their users.

Anthropic wrote, In one instance, over a 10 day period, Moonshot relayed almost 300,000 customer requests to Anthropic, the vast majority of which were routed to Opus.

Based on the report, it doesn't seem like Moonshot was using this method to spoof their models, using an anthropic backend to make the

appear more capable.

Instead, it seems like this was a way to gather realistic user queries for their distillation pipeline.

Still, Anthropic notes that this method exposed sensitive information from Chinese government and corporate users on multiple occasions.

In the biology section, Anthropic discussed an incident in May when their classifier blocked work on a grant application for scientific funding.
podcast-host
The application discussed gain of function research on a mosquito borne virus called chicken gunya.
podcast-host
Anthropic wrote, Because chicken gunya circulates naturally, a deliberate release as part of a bioweapon would be difficult to distinguish from a natural.
podcast-host
The grant sought to identify enhancing mutations of the chicken gunya virus, engineer them into infectious clones, and select for virulence in vivo.

In other words, the virus would become progressively more harmful as it repeatedly infected live animals, with researchers keeping the most disease-causing variants in each round.
podcast-host
Anthropic noted that this research could have innocent applications in vaccine development, but they were concerned it might have been malicious because research was intended to be conducted at a military research institution.

The report did not identify which nation was sponsoring the research, but did note the AI prompts continued through gray market resellers after the researchers were banned.

The report also contained dozens of other examples of blocked misuse, including Russian actors using Claude for espionage and propaganda, Chinese, Russian, and Yumani actors attempting to write software for conventional weaponry, and a host of attempted cyberattacks and financial scams.
podcast-host
Anthropic noted the report was put together with intention, writing,
podcast-host
The cases we share here aren't typical misuse, but rather examples of the most notable and novel threat activity we've identified to date.
podcast-host
We're publishing this work because we believe we have a responsibility to disclose malicious misuse of our services.

As models become increasingly capable, their risks will increase unless AI developers and society's defenders act to make them safer.
