Anthropic has just released its latest threat intelligence report, detailing how state-linked actors used its Claude AI models for surveillance, weapons development, and influence operations.

Anthropic says an Iran-nexus actor built an automated OSINT identity-profiling harness targeting Israeli and Jewish diaspora individuals.
It also used Claude to compile targeting handbooks on U.S. naval positions including a roster of U.S. personnel scraped from public military photographs, ship and aircraft transponder IDs, and satellite-imagery query scripts.

A Yemen-based guided weapons cell used Claude in place of human engineers to write guidance, navigation, and control software for a guided rocket, a multi-stage ballistic missile with a 2,000+ km range goal, and a hypersonic glide vehicle variant. The rocket was test fired and appears to have failed.

A Russia-based team used Claude to engineer an autonomous FPV kamikaze drone swarm, including an onboard small language model for attack and return-to-base behavior and terminal guidance software that could select targets and issue detonation commands without a human in the loop.

A China-based actor used Claude to build a 16-module electronic warfare, jamming, deceiving opponent’s radar, and air defense suppression suite, iterating through 12 versions, with a simulation scenario set to 12 targets in Taiwan, including Patriot and Tien Kung batteries, major air bases, and command bunkers. According to Anthropic, the actor is a China-based defense and military-industrial researcher.

A China-based actor used Claude to gather OSINT data on advanced directed-energy weapons, including a vehicle-mounted high-power microwave system for countering drone swarms, and drafted restricted briefings for senior CCP and military leadership. Anthropic assessed the actor used state-grade tradecraft and banned the account.
