Yesterday, a significant incident occurred when the source code of Claude Code was inadvertently leaked, triggering intense debates within the developer community. The leak stemmed from an oversight at Anthropic, where a Source Map file was mistakenly included in an npm package, leading to the exposure of roughly 512,000 lines of code. In response to this breach, Anthropic promptly issued a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) takedown notice, urging GitHub to remove over 8,100 repositories that contained the leaked source code, citing copyright infringement as the reason.
