Last week, Treasury Secretary\u00a0Scott Bessent\u00a0summoned bank CEOs to a meeting to discuss the risks posed by\u00a0Mythos.<\/p>\n<p>JPMorgan, the world&#8217;s largest bank by market cap, has for years invested heavily to stay ahead of threats, with dedicated teams and constant coordination with government agencies, Dimon said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We spend a lot of money. We&#8217;ve got top experts. We&#8217;re in constant contact with the government,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It&#8217;s a full-time job, and we&#8217;re doing it all the time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"ArticleBody-subtitle\"><a id=\"headline0\"><\/a>&#8216;Attack mode&#8217;<\/h2>\n<div class=\"group\">\n<p>Still, the CEO warned that risks extend beyond any single institution, given the interconnected nature of the financial system.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That doesn&#8217;t mean everything that banks rely on is that well protected,&#8221; Dimon said. &#8220;Banks\u2026 are attached to exchanges and all these other things that create other layers of risk.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>JPMorgan Chief Financial Officer Jeremy Barnum said the industry has long been aware that AI cuts both ways in cybersecurity.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These tools can make it easier to find vulnerabilities, but then also potentially be deployed by bad actors in attack mode,&#8221; Barnum said on the earnings call. Recent advances from Anthropic and others have simply intensified an existing trend, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Dimon also said that while advanced AI tools are important, old-school cybersecurity practices remain essential.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A lot of it is hygiene\u2026 how do you protect your data? How do you protect your networks, your routers, your hardware, changing your passcode?&#8221; he said. &#8220;Doing all those things right dramatically reduces the risk.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"QuoteInBody-quoteNameContainer\" data-test=\"QuoteInBody\" id=\"RegularArticle-QuoteInBody-9\">Goldman Sachs<span class=\"QuoteInBody-inlineButton\"><span class=\"AddToWatchlistButton-watchlistContainer\" id=\"-WatchlistDropdown\" data-analytics-id=\"-WatchlistDropdown\"><button class=\"AddToWatchlistButton-watchlistButton\" aria-label=\"Add To Watchlist\" data-testid=\"dropdown-btn\"><span class=\"AddToWatchlistButton-addWatchListFromTag\"><\/span><\/button><\/span><\/span><\/span> CEO David Solomon said Monday during an earnings call that his bank was testing Mythos, though he declined to comment further.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ArticleBody-googlePreferredSourceContainer\" data-module=\"GooglePreferredSource\" data-id=\"RegularArticle-GooglePreferredSource-5\">Choose CNBC as your preferred source on Google and never miss a moment from the most trusted name in business news.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2026\/04\/14\/jamie-dimon-anthropic-mythos-vulnerabilities-cyber-attacks.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jamie Dimon, chief executive officer of JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co., right, departs the US Capitol in Washington, DC, US, on Wednesday, Feb. 25, 2026.
