China’s 360 Hunts Software Flaws With AI, Echoing Mythos

A large Chinese cybersecurity firm is using artificial intelligence to identify security vulnerabilities in widely used software applications, positioning itself as a competitor to Anthropic PBC, according to a new report.

The company, 360 Digital Security Group, has in recent months said it has developed an AI-powered “Vulnerability Discovery Agent” that has uncovered close to 1,000 previously unknown vulnerabilities, including in Microsoft’s Office and in OpenClaw, an open-source framework for building and deploying AI agent workflows, according to the report published Wednesday by Natto Thoughts, a research group focused on Chinese cybersecurity.
