China-linked cyber groups have been hijacking everyday home routers—Linksys, Netgear, even small Cisco devices—and turning them into global proxy networks. That means an attacker can: This isn’t theoretical. In 2024–2025, massive botnets made of thousands of home routers were dismantled. The scariest part? Most people had no idea their device was involved.

Frontier AI models are accelerating the discovery of new vulnerabilities combined with the ability to exploit those weaknesses at speed and scale. This alone isn’t the problem. Trust in AI‑driven security outcomes is. With AI dominating headlines, security leaders are asking what models like Mythos or GPT‑5.4‑Cyber mean for their business. The real issue runs deeper. Teams need to be able to trust tools and technology that move at machine speed.

Mythos has elevated cybersecurity concerns, but it does not need to change the playbook completely.
