Claude Code Users Are Now at Risk — Here's Why

The Claude Code source leak has hackers eyeing vulnerabilities and targeting users right now. The leak is permanent. The hackers aren't waiting. Within hours, attackers registered fake npm packages mimicking internal Anthropic dependencies. If you compiled the leaked source and ran npm install, you may have pulled attacker-controlled packages sitting dormant — waiting for a malicious update to drop. Protect yourself now: 🔒 Pin your versions — never use wildcards like ^ or ~ in package.json 🔒 Add ignore-scripts=true to your .npmrc — blocks postinstall hooks, the #1 execution vector 🔒 Use npm ci instead of npm install in automated environments 🔒 Install Claude Code through official Anthropic channels only or use Bun to keep yourself secure. Stay vigilant. The code is out there permanently — time to lock it down. 💬 Full Video Here: https://youtu.be/w7CWS4bmN2A 📺 Related: Claude Wrote a C Compiler -- Can We Make it Better with DIF?
