The irony is spectacular: a coding assistant designed to automate development also automates the creation of security liabilities. And Anthropic’s response seems to be more automation. Perhaps the next AI agent can monitor the first AI agent while a third one explains to management why the database credentials are now public.

How do I know if they are both down or if it’s my internet?
Got you covered fam. https://downdetectorsdowndetectorsdowndetector.com/
How long can a URL be?

The URL query string doesn’t have a fixed max length, but if you’re worried about the length of a get you should already be using a post.
One of the more frustrating parts of Internet standards is that there is no defined limit. You just get to keep going and going until some piece of software in the chain mysteriously breaks.
Great news, there’s a down detector for the down detector’s down detector. They even have a down detector for the down detector’s down detector down detector

My life has been enriched, learning about this
I detected the sarcasm but I have to say it anyways : this won’t work as long all of them are built on the same technology which is inherently vulnerable for prompt injections
This is my point with AI. The risk is not that it will become something new, it’s that it will become like us.
One is ultimately responsible for one’s output.
When a user chooses the “Yes, and don’t ask again” option to approve running a command, that choice gets stored as part of a rule in the local “.claude/settings.local.json” file on the user’s computer.
Saving privileged credentials in the clear in a config file? I think I can take credit for Claude doing that as this. Claude was clearly trained on my StackOverflow posts from 15 years ago.
Thank you for your critically important contribution.
Share no secrets, make no mistake
who are you, who are so wise in the ways of science?

Mystery Science Doug? Daaaaamn. We got a celebrity here!
The fact that people give Claude access to their secrets is a big liability in the first place.
Even Claude itself warns you about it. I did shared a snippet of code with API keys in it by mistake, I got a huge warning telling me that I should consider these compromise and change them immediately.
Why they’re blaming the tool instead of the user?
It’s the vibe coder’s fault if they don’t even watch the files edited in a commit.
Not only they approve a commit without reading the code, but they approve without watching the list of edited files in a commit? They don’t use vs code or something that shows a diff? Just type in a box and let the algorithm have full control on the commits, blindly?
But I was told we don’t need developers anymore because Claude can do everything.
Because the tool it’s inherently built to steal data.

That means a developer that has experience, knowledge and understands their craft. Vibecoding seems to be targeted at allowing that unskilled with unformed thoughts to do the development. It’s a standard progression in development. A new tool appears, call it Java, and a whole lot of sloppy code appeared before knowledge and experience caught up with all the new developers hacking away.
Vibecoding is when anyone uses at least a 0.0000…01 of AI.
Deskilling is real and alarming.
Yeah, but by replacing the effort through which knowledge and experience are learned, the step of understanding what the app is doing won’t come.
Remember, that’s not a bug, that’s not a vulnerability, that’s an intentional feature. Stealing data it’s what lets the slop machines survive.
So this is a pretty bad headline; it isn’t Claude Code sharing the secrets, it’s the user syncing their command history.
I’m sad we can’t get claude to share what it’s seen.
We’re trully entering a new Golden Age for hacking!
It took me a little while to realise they just mean the tickbox you select to remember your password, rather than some special prompt being fed into Claude, along the lines of “make no mistakes” or “don’t hallucinate”.
Oh Claude, why you do me this way?
