Introduction

New AI models like Mythos and 5.5-Cyber change how we protect computers.

Main Body

Bad people use AI to steal data. They do this very fast. In 2024, it took five hours. In 2025, it took only one hour. AI is getting smarter quickly. The UK AI Security Institute says AI can now do hard computer tasks in less time. New models are better than old ones. Good people also use AI. Mozilla used AI to find computer problems and fix them. Cisco helps other companies use AI for safety. But there are too many problems. AI finds new holes in computers faster than people can fix them.

Conclusion

Companies must use AI to fight AI to keep data safe.

⏱️ The 'Faster' Pattern

In this text, we see a way to compare how things change over time. This is very useful for A2 learners to describe progress.

The Logic: Old Time →\rightarrow New Time (Shorter)

From the text:

  • 2024 →\rightarrow five hours
  • 2025 →\rightarrow one hour

Simple Words for Change:

  • Faster: When something takes less time.
  • Better: When something works in a more helpful way.
  • Smarter: When a machine or person learns more.

How to use this in your life: Instead of saying "I am improving," use these simple patterns:

  • My English is getting better.
  • I can read faster now.
  • This phone is smarter than my old one.
