Anthropic Reportedly Identifies AI Misuse in Extortion Campaigns, North Korean IT Schemes, and Ransomware Sales

2025-08-27

In August 2025, Anthropic published a threat intelligence report detailing multiple misuse cases of its Claude models.

Anthropic banned the accounts, implemented new safeguards, and shared indicators with authorities.

Incident 13551 Rapport
Reported AI Impersonations of Pastors Used in Online Donation and Influence Scams

2026-01-05

Religious communities in the U.S. and abroad reported the circulation of purportedly AI-generated videos and cloned audio impersonating pastors and church leaders, including Father Mike Schmitz, to solicit donations and spread incendiary sermons. The impersonations reportedly leveraged synthetic voice and likeness tools and were distributed via platforms such as TikTok, Facebook, and messaging apps. Some content remained unlabeled as AI-generated and was treated as authentic by viewers.
