Claude code leaked
This video from Silicon Money details a massive security blunder by Anthropic where the entire proprietary source code for Claude Code was accidentally leaked.
The Incident: A 512,000-Line Mistake
During a routine software update to npm at 4:00 AM, Anthropic included a 60-megabyte source map file in the production build [
What is a Source Map? It is essentially a "cheat sheet" used for debugging that maps minified, unreadable production code back to its original human-readable source [
00:46 The Leak: This file contained over 512,000 lines of Anthropic’s proprietary code [
00:07 The Speed of the Internet: A researcher discovered the file within 23 minutes [
01:45 02:05
The "Claw Code" Clean-Room Rewrite
One of the most active Claude Code users, a developer known as Secret Jin, performed a "clean-room rewrite" of the leaked code [
He rewrote the entire architecture from JavaScript into Python in just 8 hours [
02:55 Because it was an original rewrite and not a copy-paste, it qualifies as a new creative work, making it difficult for Anthropic to take down via DMCA [
03:08 This project, named Claw Code, became one of the fastest-growing repositories in GitHub history [
03:24
Unannounced Features Revealed
The leak exposed several "wild" features Anthropic has been working on behind the scenes:
Buddy: A virtual terminal pet (species include ducks, capybaras, and dragons) with an "AI-generated soul" [
03:40 Chyros: An always-on background agent that uses "autodream" to consolidate project observations and convert notes into facts while the user is idle [
04:13 Ultra Plan: A high-level reasoning mode that offloads complex tasks to a powerful cloud model for up to 30 minutes of "thinking" time [
04:42 Coordinator Mode: A system where one Claude instance manages multiple worker agents in parallel [
05:06
Wider Business & Political Context
The leak comes at a disastrous time for Anthropic, which is currently valued at $380 billion and planning an IPO [
National Security Tension: Anthropic recently fought a legal battle with the U.S. government after refusing to allow Claude to be used for autonomous weapons or mass surveillance [
06:46 07:18 Series of Failures: This is Anthropic's second major leak in five days, following a separate incident where internal files and a blog post about a new model called Mythos were left on a publicly accessible system [
06:06
The video highlights the irony that Claude Code—a tool largely written by AI—was leaked because of a simple human configuration error that any junior engineer should have caught [

🚀 IT Tech Tip of the Day: Audit Your "Shadow AI" Integrations
The Problem: In 2026, almost every SaaS tool—from your CRM to your note-taking app—has added "AI features" that often default to ON. This can lead to sensitive company data being used to train third-party models without your explicit oversight.
The Tip: Conduct a Quarterly AI Permissions Audit. Go to your browser extensions and third-party app integrations (like those in Slack, Google Workspace, or Microsoft 365) and look for "Model Training" or "Data Sharing" toggles.
Change your Google Account email
Your Google Account email is the address you use to sign into Google services and to identify your account to you and others. If you choose, you can change your Google Account email that ends in gmail.com to a new address that ends in gmail.com.
Important: The ability to change your Google Account email is gradually rolling out to all users and this option may not be available to you yet.
What your Google Account email is
- Your Google Account email is what you use to sign into Google products and services
- When you're signed in, this email address shows up for you next to your name and profile photo. To find your email address, select your Profile picture or initial at the top right of any Google service.
- Your Google Account email is where you get important information about most Google services you use, unless you've added a different contact email.
- Your Google Account email will also be visible when you do things like share Drive files, send Calendar invites, or use Sign in with Google.
Important: Your Google Account email is the main email address for your Google Account. But you can also add additional email addresses for account recovery, as alternates, and more. Learn how to use different email addresses on your account.
Change your Google Account email
If your Google Account email ends in gmail.com, you may be able to change it to another address that ends in @gmail.com.

Other ways you may be able to change your Google Account email
You may also be able to change your Google Account email if:
You have a Google Account with a @gmail.com address and want to switch to a non-Gmail address. To do this, you’ll need to delete your Gmail service. Learn more about deleting your Gmail service.
Tip: If you don’t want to delete your Gmail service, you can also add a non-Gmail address as an alternate email. You may be asked to verify any alternate email addresses. Learn more about alternate emails.

What happens after you change your Google Account email
When you change your Google Account email from one that ends in gmail.com to a new address that ends in gmail.com:
Your previous Google Account email ending in gmail.com will become an alternate email address. Learn more about alternate emails.
You’ll receive emails to both your old and new addresses.
The data saved in your account won’t be affected. This includes things like photos, messages and emails sent to your previous email address.
You can change back to your previous email address at any time, but you can’t create a new Google Account email ending in gmail.com for the next 12 months. You also can’t delete your new email address.
You can sign in with your old or new email address on Google services, such as Gmail, Maps, YouTube, Google Play or Drive.
