The FBI's 2025 IC3 report dropped last week: $20.9 billion in cybercrime losses. First time ever over $20B. Over a million complaints filed in a single year. 42+ million Americans affected by healthcare breaches alone. 12,444 seniors each individually lost more than $100,000. The same week, Anthropic launched Project Glasswing — a direct response to their new Mythos model autonomously finding a 27-year-old vulnerability in OpenBSD. A system with a reputation as one of the most secure ever built. Think about that for a moment. This is exactly the inflection point the Cybersecurity Poverty Line framework was built to describe. The gap between what AI-enabled attackers can do and what under-resourced defenders can absorb just got materially wider — overnight. Glasswing is the right move. $100M in Mythos credits to 40 critical infrastructure partners buys defenders a head start. But it's a head start measured in weeks, not years. The question for every organization right now isn't whether AI will change your threat landscape. It already has. The question is whether your security posture was built for the world that existed before last Tuesday. For most organizations — especially those below the poverty line — the honest answer is no. #Cybersecurity #AI #CybersecurityPovertyLine #RiskAperture #ProjectGlasswing
