Analysis Summary
This is solid reporting on a real incident. Anthropic did leak Claude Code's source code (512,000+ lines) in a npm package update on March 31, 2026, due to an accidentally included source map file. The company confirmed the mistake and stated no customer data or credentials were exposedβ€”just the CLI tool's architecture. The article quotes Anthropic directly, cites security researchers who first spotted it, and explains why this matters: competitors and security researchers now have a detailed blueprint of how Claude Code works. The framing is dramatic but accurate; some context about competitive and security implications could be deeper.
