Attackers Use Chatbots To Breach Mexican Systems

Attackers used Anthropic's Claude to breach Mexican government computer systems over a month beginning in December, extracting roughly 150 gigabytes of data including credentials, civil registry files, and about 195 million taxpayer and voter records, VentureBeat reported on Feb. 26. Security firm Gambit Security found attackers bypassed Claude's guardrails via Spanish-language jailbreak prompts, illustrating how LLMs can lower technical barriers to large-scale cyber theft.
