A security researcher has flagged that Anthropic accidentally made the source code for its popular AI tool, Claude Code, public. But this isn't just a simple leak; some of the posters have hidden infostealer malware within the code, making it dangerous to download.

Previously, hackers had used sponsored ads on Google to distribute malware disguised as official installation guides for Claude Code. This incident highlights how even seemingly harmless tech can be weaponised by cybercriminals.

The hack of FBI wiretap tools has been officially classified as a ‘major incident’ under FISMA, with China suspected as the culprit. The bureau detected suspicious activities in February and is now deploying all its technical capabilities to respond, but this breach adds to a pattern of foreign hackers penetrating the FBI's surveillance infrastructure.

Meanwhile, a 22-year-old college student has played an unexpected role in taking down four large botnets, including Aisuru and Kimwolf, known for some of the biggest distributed denial-of-service attacks ever recorded. His involvement underscores how young talent can make significant contributions to cybersecurity efforts.
