Why mention claude?

Coz attacker used Claude according to reports

Which link states it was one solo attacker, please?

So if the tool is so influential, why mention the attacker? Lone wolf attacks are bog standard, yea? Is it the person or the tool that is the problem?

For a tool to be threatening, you need a malicious operator at the moment. Or at least I hope so.

This hasn't stopped years and years of bleating about "AI safety", whatever that refers to.
