Hackers are stealing Claude tokens from subscribers
TechCrunch 1 month ago 18
Claude subscribers reported their token usage rising while they were inactive, after hackers reportedly accessed accounts and minted unauthorized Claude Code OAuth tokens. The reported theft included an increase from 45% to 55% during a controlled interval, and Anthropic refunded £44.49 for the remaining time on a $200-per-month subscription. Anthropic suspended affected accounts, invalidated sessions and server-side tokens, and partial refunds were issued, after which some users canceled or switched tools due to the lack of itemized token visibility and fast support.
