Anthropic detailed disrupted cases of Claude use for cyber operations, surveillance, conventional weapons software, biological research attempts, and large-scale illicit distillation by Chinese labs including Alibaba (over 151 million exchanges), Moonshot, and DeepSeek. The report provides concrete evidence of real-world misuse patterns spanning December 2025 to August 2026 and documents industry and state-linked activity.
