ECB tells banks to draw up plans against AI attacks amid disruption fears

The European Central Bank (ECB) has instructed eurozone banks to develop strategies to defend against potential cyber threats posed by artificial intelligence (AI). This directive comes amid growing concerns over the power of advanced AI models like Anthropic’s Mythos, which have raised security alarms due to their sophisticated capabilities. The ECB warned that these technologies could compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and resilience of banks' information and communication systems. Banks were given until October 31 to submit their plans, and the ECB has delayed a related IT survey to provide more time for preparation. The European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB), a EU advisory body, highlighted the potential for large-scale cyber disruptions to erode public trust in financial institutions and possibly lead to panic-driven withdrawals from perceived weaker entities.
