Anthropic took down thousands of GitHub repos trying to yank its leaked source code — a move the company says was an accident - TechCrunch
Overview
Anthropic accidentally triggered thousands of GitHub takedowns while trying to remove leaked copies of its Claude Code source and later retracted most notices, calling the action an error. That operational misstep exposed weaknesses in how the company handles sensitive material removal and communication with developer communities. Combined with Project Glasswing’s use of Claude Mythos to discover thousands of zero-day flaws, these episodes illustrate recurring operational and security challenges as Anthropic scales model capabilities and tries to protect both its intellectual property and broader cybersecurity outcomes.
