Hackers reportedly used AI tool from company that wiped billions of dollars from market to steal 150GB of Mexican government data

Hackers reportedly used Anthropic’s artificial intelligence chatbot Claude to carry out multiple cyberattacks targeting Mexican government agencies. Cybersecurity researchers have claimed that this has resulted in the theft of approximately 150GB of sensitive data. The attackers allegedly prompted the company’s Claude AI tool, in Spanish, to identify system vulnerabilities, generate exploit scripts, and automate data extraction.

According to a Bloomberg report, researchers at Israeli cybersecurity firm Gambit Security said the activity began in December 2025 and continued for nearly a month.
