Anthropic Issues DMCA Takedown Notices, Massively Removes 8,100 Source Code Repositories

AI giant Anthropic has issued multiple DMCA takedown notices to GitHub in response to a major source code leak. The company is targeting illegally hosted repositories containing the code for Claude Code. As a result, GitHub has removed the main repository along with over 8,100 forked repositories, marking one of the largest code copyright clean-up operations in the AI industry. Contrary to initial reports of employee error, an internal investigation revealed the leak was caused by a bug in an internal packaging tool. This bug mistakenly included sensitive files and full TypeScript source code, which should have remained private, into a production build. While this finding shifts blame from employee misconduct, it highlights a critical security flaw in Anthropic's automated workflow. Despite the takedown, the code had already been downloaded by thousands of developers within 48 hours and widely shared on platforms like Telegram, cloud storage, and private Git servers, making complete eradication nearly impossible. The leaked code, which includes implementation logic and internal model fine-tuning instructions, continues to be actively analyzed by developers.
