This paragraph gets to the particular matter of what i'm talking about. The reporter's tradecraft is put on display here. If those devices on which she conducted the work is seized, and at the disposal of the federal goverment's digital forensics capabilities, sources can be 100% be discovered.

NEW: @derekbjohnson.bsky.social spoke with @anthropic.com's threat intel team about Thursday's report. Lots in there, but one key takeaway: Despite being labeled as 'autonomous,' there was a tremendous amount of human effort needed to pull off the attacks. cyberscoop.com/anthropic-ai...
![However, Klein also made it clear that “most autonomous” is a relative term. There is plenty of evidence to indicate this hacking group devoted significant human and technical resources into the way it used Claude.
Namely, the automation detailed in Anthropic’s report performed by Claude was made possible through a frontend framework designed to orchestrate and support its operations. The framework handled tasks such as scripting, provisioning related servers, and significant backend development to ensure every step was followed correctly. Klein noted this development process was the most difficult — and, importantly, human-led — step in the operation.
“The first part that is not autonomous is building the framework, so you needed a human being to put this all together,” Klein said. “You had a human operator that would put in a target, they would click a button and then use this framework that was created [ahead of time]. The hardest part of this entire system was building this framework, that’s what was human intensive.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pz7u4quefs7ajp25ujbe4xhk/bafkreibabm4oal3ub5tr7o5hnr5lsvikpf22nbnuzvach7hcec6dmwt5eu@jpeg)

For anyone that is on their way to Vegas for Black Hat — if you have respiratory problems, prepare. Wildfires in Santa Barbara have smoke moving through the city. Here is a picture from a hotel room, I could see the mountains clearly yesterday. You see any 🏔️ in this pic?
