Anthropic Warns Claude Users of Malware Stealing Login Sessions and Account Access
Anthropic has alerted some Claude AI users about malware, specifically infostealer, that may have compromised their computers by stealing active login sessions. This malware can access account details and usage limits without users' knowledge. Affected users are being signed out, and saved payment methods removed, with refunds offered for unauthorized charges. Anthropic clarified that the issue stems from malware on users' devices, not from Claude itself, and primarily affects PCs and Macs, not phones or tablets.
