The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

Microsoft has identified a npm supply chain compromise impacting 90 redhat-cloud-services/* packages, including patch-client 4.0.4, insights-client 4.0.4, rbac-client 9.0.3, host-inventory-client 5.0.3, frontend-components 7.7.2, and others. The payload is a self-propagating worm that infects other npm packages and self-publishes.
Each compromised package adds a malicious preinstall hook, embedding an index.js script in the package.json that silently executes “node index.js” during installation, downloads Bun, and runs a payload that steals secrets from npm, GitHub, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Secure Shell (SSH). The added code bloats index.js from ~8KB to ~4.3MB, acting as a heavily obfuscated ROT-9 eval loader.
If any of the compromised packages are installed, users and organizations should assume compromise, rotate credentials, revert to a previously trusted version, and block compromised packages. Identified compromised npm packages have been taken down, and we continue to work with the npm team. Microsoft continues to investigate this attack and will publish updates as more information is available.
