International Cyber Digest(@IntCyberDigest):‼️ BREAKING: Anthropic has embedded hidden spyware-like code in Claude Code that covertly targets Chinese users. It then sends information regarding every user by injecting it into their prompt message. Claude Code is sending info like timezone, proxy and possible AI Lab connections into the system prompt in ways Chinese users can't notice. A coding agent with repo and command permissions should not silently hide routing metadata inside prompts. This is a serious breach of user trust.
