A cybersecurity firm called Cathedral, founded by former members of Elon Musk's DOGE, claims to have breached Anthropic's internal systems in under 12 hours. Cathedral, an AI-driven cybersecurity firm focused on military applications, recently secured a $160 million funding round. The firm penetrated Anthropic by exploiting vulnerabilities in common business software, reportedly accessing sensitive data like meeting transcripts and salary information. Anthropic confirmed a "limited set" of its systems were accessed and has since secured those points, noting Cathedral initially failed to breach their software directly. This incident has caused concern in Washington, D.C., raising questions about national security if a startup can achieve such a breach.Anthropic has faced a challenging relationship with the Trump administration, with Donald Trump labeling it a "radical left, woke company." Cathedral's founders, including Gavin Kliger and Luke Farritor, have strong ties to the Trump administration. Kliger was previously the Pentagon's chief data officer and involved in a dispute with Anthropic. Marko Elez, another founder, faced controversy for past social media posts but was rehired by Musk. Cathedral aims to sell AI cybersecurity software to the Pentagon for both defensive and offensive military applications. The company is also reportedly seeking a data center for dedicated computing power. However, upcoming midterm elections could complicate Cathedral's ambitions, as a Democratic-controlled Congress might scrutinize contracts awarded to firms with close Trump ties.
