Analytics India Magazine·medium signal
Anthropic officially stated the Claude Code npm source map leak was 'a release packaging issue caused by human error, not a security breach' and confirmed no one was fired — directly contradicting a viral tweet (10.6K likes, 3.7M views) from someone claiming to be the responsible engineer who was terminated. The company emphasized that no sensitive customer data or credentials were exposed. The contradiction between the viral narrative and official response itself became a story, highlighting how quickly misinformation spreads around AI security incidents.
