Anthropic security lead warns things will get worse; Benioff says 'Code red'
inductionheads · x · 2026-10-23
Jason Clinton, security lead at Anthropic, issued an unusually stark warning: things have gotten bad in the past 4 days and will "get a lot worse before they get better." He urged security leaders to "never let a crisis go to waste" and immediately ask their boards for help — not for AI, but for the basics — saying "we need to hold on for 18 months."
Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff amplified it: "Jason is 100% right. Code red. 🚨" — a notable alignment of two industry heavyweights on an escalating security crisis.
